pandas.errors.ValueLabelTypeMismatch

exception pandas.errors.ValueLabelTypeMismatch

Warning raised by to_stata on a category column that contains non-string values.

When exporting data to Stata format using the to_stata method, category columns must have string values as labels. If a category column contains non-string values (e.g., integers, floats, or other types), this warning is raised to indicate that the Stata file may not correctly represent the data.
