It just a list comprehension from pandas columns

you can use

df['Predictions'].str[0].astype(int)

to extract decimal values

df['Predictions'].str[0]-df['Predictions'].str[0].astype(int)

Thank you! Is there a possibility to keep the comma values?

Glad to help, if you just want decimal values, you can use df['Predictions'].str[0]-df['Predictions'].str[0].astype(int)
