AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'

Hi Till,

I am honoured to inform you that I have earned gold medal in the program crashing category again. I was competing in the 'Read Proportions > Calculate bar chart' section and encountered an [x_x] unexpected error [x_x], despite the accurate plotting of the heatmap and pie chart. This was a first-time occurrence, and the function had previously been functioning properly.

best, Onur.

This should be a quick fix. Maybe I'll manage over the weekend. Time is very limited this October :D

Hi again,
Take your time. I also downgraded my pandas' latest version to 1.5.3 with pip install pandas==1.5.3 and turned back fromwriter.close() to writer.save()again, it is working properly right now.
enjoy, Onur

This also worked for me to solve an error during replicate merging.
