# pandas.Series.notnull

Series.notnull()

  Series.notnull is an alias for Series.notna.

  Detect existing (non-missing) values.

  Return a boolean same-sized object indicating if the values are not NA. Non-missing values get mapped to True. Characters such as empty strings `''` or `numpy.inf` are not considered NA values. NA values, such as None or `numpy.NaN`, get mapped to False values.

  Returns:
    Series/DataFrame

      Mask of bool values for each element in Series/DataFrame that indicates whether an element is not an NA value.

      ...         born=[

      ...             pd.Timestamp("1939-05-27"),
      ...             pd.Timestamp("1940-04-25"),
