Import python libraries in Power BI

[elria]

Hi all,

I would like to use libraries in the python scripts within Power BI. When I try to import it and use it though, I get an error message that the module cannnot be found. With pandas, mupny etc I dont have any issues..only with my own library.

Could you please let me know if using libraries is possible and how I can fix the error?

Thank you,

Elria

Hi @elria,

Where are these custom libraries located? Did them host in the same location as you confiture in power bi desktop -> 'python scripting' settings?

If this is a case, I think you need to specify the full path that your libraries hosted and use them in the import script.

In addition, please also check your libraries if they are compatible with your current python versions.

Hi v-shex-msft ,

Many thanks for the hint! My library was indeed in a different directory from the python script settings! This made the trick..

Thank you,
