KeyError in Dataframe

I have a dataframe that looks just how I want it when I export it to a csv file.

CompanyName 1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10  11  12
Company 1   182 270 278 314 180 152 110 127 129 117 127 81
Company 2   163 147 192 142 186 231 214 130 112 117 93  101
Company 3   126 88  99  139 97  97  96  37  79  116 111 95
Company 4   84  89  71  95  80  89  83  88  104 93  78  64

However, when I try to pull from the key 'CompanyName' I get a KeyError: 'CompanyName' I suspect it's being overwritten somewhere but I'm not sure how to fix it.

if I print my dataframe I get:

pivot_table.head(2)
Out[62]: 
Month                  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   11  CompanyName                                                                   
Company 1       182  270  278  314  180  152  110  127  129  117  127   
Company 2       163  147  192  142  186  231  214  130  112  117   93   

Month                  12  
CompanyName                
Company 1        81  
Company 2       101  

which is rather hard to read to be able to tell what's going on. The code that is throwing the error:

pivot_table['CompanyName'] = [str(x) for x in pivot_table['CompanyName']]
Companies = list(pivot_table['CompanyName'])
months = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12"]
pivot_table = pivot_table.set_index('CompanyName')

EDIT

Bleh's answer helped eliminate this KeyError. I needed to start the code by resetting the index, because it couldn't call a Key that had been made an index earlier.

This is because you've set the index to CompanyName.

You cannot reference the index in that manner.

Use pivot_table = pivot_table.reset_index() to reset the index and try accessing it again.

Here's the reproduced error:

 In [45]: df = pd.read_clipboard()

In [46]: df
Out[46]: 
         CompanyName    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11  \
Company            1  182  270  278  314  180  152  110  127  129  117  127   
Company            2  163  147  192  142  186  231  214  130  112  117   93   
Company            3  126   88   99  139   97   97   96   37   79  116  111   
Company            4   84   89   71   95   80   89   83   88  104   93   78   

          12  
Company   81  
Company  101  
Company   95  
Company   64  

In [47]: df['CompanyName']
Out[47]: 
Company    1

Company    4

In [48]: df = df.set_index('CompanyName')
