Python script error - ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

[TiborTuboly]

Hi,

I would like to run the following python script:

import pandas as pd

data=pd.read_table('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petroGG/Basic-Well-Log-Interpretation/master/WA1.txt', delim_whitespace=True, index_col='M__DEPTH')

data=data.rename(columns=({'M__DEPTH':'DEPT'}))
data['DEPT']=data.index

But after I copy+paste it to Get Data->Python script, it gives the following error.

Details: "ADO.NET: Python script error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 2, in <module>
    import os, pandas, matplotlib.pyplot

    from matplotlib import afm, cbook, ft2font, rcParams, get_cachedir
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Do you have any idea how to solve it? Python home directory is correctly set up in Power BI and my DLL files seems okay in my system folder.

Thanks.

Hi @TiborTuboly ,

which version of Python your Anaconda environment is using? Try to create a new conda env with Python 3.5:

conda create -n py35 anaconda python=3.5

Then pip installing relevant packages:

conda activate py35

py -m pip install matplotlib

py -m pip install pandas

After finishing it, you need to point Power BI Desktop to the new env following steps :File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> Python Scripting. Then add the Path to your new Env, looks like: "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\py35".

If you still have this issue for Power BI, you'd better create a support ticket in Power BI Support to get further help.

Hi Amy,

unfortunately, I cannot create a new environment, my company laptop does not allow it.

I will try to install Python in my on my personal computer and I will try to run this code again.

I hope it solves the issue. I will get back with the results. 

Thank you.
