Hi everyone!
I found this very usefull tutorial on youtube talking about how validate emails with PBI by using a Python script, this i'm getting this error:
Do you guys knows how to solve this?
the script is very simple:
from validate_email import validate_email
dataset['Valid Email'] = dataset['Email'].apply(lambda x:validate_email(x))
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Leandro,
Couldn't reproduce your issue. The python script works well on my side. It seems like there's something with your data type, are they text type in your dataset?

Hi everyone,
I followed the same tutorial but I get another error when running the script:
I used the same code as the tutorial but there he only has 1 column in his dataset and mine consists of multiple columns with multiple date types.
I tested the code and when I removed all other columns, it worked as expected.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks!
