Resolved: Fix the following error: ValueError: cannot set using a multi-index selection indexer with a different length

m = (dfc['year'] == 2015) & (dfc['max'] < 5.0)
n= dfc['Full_date'] == '28-8-2015'
dfc.loc[m, ['max']] = dfc.loc[n, ['max']].values
[/code]

</p>



but it returned me the error from the title.<br> 



The dataframe I'm working is like that:<br> 


<p>[code]    min max Full_date   year    month   day<br />
date<br />
2015-08-03  3.89    4.80    3-8-2015    2015    8   3<br />

# get replacement value
