Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import numpy as np import pandas as pd def main(): # create a data frame # dtypes must be the same for the issue to occur data = {'x': np.arange(8, dtype=np.int64), 'y': np.int64(0)} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # These next three lines are necessary to produce the issue. df = df.copy() data = df['y'] df.iat[7, df.columns.get_loc('x')] = 9999 # set the last row of column y to a desired value df.iat[7, df.columns.get_loc('y')] = 1234 # compare get values for at and iat atValue = df.at[7, 'y'] iatValue = df.iat[7, df.columns.get_loc('y')] print(iatValue, atValue, iatValue == atValue) # inspect data print("\nThe DataFrame:") print(df) print("\nLabel Based:") print(df['y']) print("\nInteger Based:") print(df.iloc[:, df.columns.get_loc('y')]) if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Issue Description

In the above example, a value of 1234 was set to the last row in column 'y' using an integer based method of indexing. However, if using a label based method of indexing to view the values, it returns the original value of 0 instead of 1234. This issue does not occur on pandas version 1.3.5.

1234 0 False The DataFrame: x y 0 0 0 1 1 0 2 2 0 3 3 0 4 4 0 5 5 0 6 6 0 7 9999 1234 Label Based: 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7 0 Name: y, dtype: int64 Integer Based: 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7 1234 Name: y, dtype: int64 

Expected Behavior

The label based method returns the correct value.
