When working with pandas, you can handle minus signs by simply using the "-" symbol before the number you want to make negative. For example, if you have a column in a pandas DataFrame with positive numbers and you want to make them negative, you can simply multiply the column by -1. This will change all the values in that column to negative numbers. You can also use the "-" symbol when performing arithmetic operations in pandas to subtract one value from another.

To filter on specific rows in value counts in pandas, you can first use the value_counts() function to get the frequency of each unique value in a column.

To change the background color of a cell in pandas, you can use the Styler.applymap() method. First, create a style function that returns the desired background color for each cell based on a condition. Then, apply this style function to the DataFrame or specific columns using the Styler.applymap() method. This will change the background color of the cells that meet the specified condition. Additionally, you can customize the color using CSS color names, hex color codes, or RGB values.
