# pandas.Series.sparse.sp_values

Series.sparse.sp_values

  An ndarray containing the non- `fill_value` values.

  This property returns the actual data values stored in the sparse representation, excluding the values that are equal to the `fill_value`. The result is an ndarray of the underlying values, preserving the sparse structure by omitting the default `fill_value` entries.

  See also

  `Series.sparse.to_dense`

    Convert a Series from sparse values to dense.

  `Series.sparse.fill_value`

    Elements in data that are fill_value are not stored.

  `Series.sparse.density`

    The percent of non- `fill_value` points, as decimal.

  Examples

      >>> from pandas.arrays import SparseArray
      >>> s = SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 0, 2], fill_value=0)
      >>> s.sp_values
      array([1, 2])
