@@ -728,14 +728,14 @@ Suppose we wanted to pivot ``df`` such that the ``col`` values are columns,
 ``row`` values are the index, and the mean of ``val0`` are the values? In
 particular, the resulting DataFrame should look like:

 This solution uses :func:`~pandas.pivot_table`. Also note that
 ``aggfunc='mean'`` is the default. It is included here to be explicit.
