Cant run any Pyton Script

Dear Power BI & Python Experts,

 

I am trying to run Python code (Python Visuals) in Power BI.

 

I have anaconda downloaded and this is where I do my normal python analysis within Jupyter. I pointed my Python home director in Power BI to "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3"

 

No code at all will run. To test it I just threw in a basic ID column and hit run.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been researching for a while now and can't find a solution.

 

 

This is the following error I get:

@Anonymous Did you tested your Python script in Jupyter ? Is that working ? Please share the python test script that you are using.

 

Yes, Python visual in PBI requires atleast one data field (a dummy column will do). 





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Yes so I can run scripts in Anaconda very easily and I have all the packages (matplotlib, Pandas, etc...) installed in my Anaconda environment.

I submitted a ticket with Microsoft so if we can figure it out I will post the solution here.
