Cannot get my Python Script Working because of importing issues with matplotlib

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am trying to see my python code in Power BI but I am having issues. I wrote my code on Jupyter Notebook and it works properly and shows the plot I want to see. However, when I try to run the same code in Power BI I am getting this error. Help would be appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous 

According to the error message, it couldn't find the 'Matplotlib' module from the current directory. You need to install the module explicitly using the pip installer because Matplotlib is not a built-in module (it doesn’t come with the default python installation) in Python. See Install required Python packages 

However, since you can run the code on Jupyter Notebook correctly, you already have Matplotlib in its environment. I guess probably you have installed Anaconda along with Jupyter Notebook, in this case you can also use Anaconda's Python directory in Power BI because Matplotlib is included in Anaconda. You can refer to PYTHON IN POWER BI: ENABLING PYTHON SCRIPTS WITH ANACONDA ENVIRONMENT
