Python script error: 'No module named pandas'

I tried getting data with a python script and recieved 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
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'
"

 

Here's the python code:

import datetime
import fix_yahoo_finance as yf


start = datetime.datetime(2016,1,1) #start with January 1st 2016
end = datetime.date.today()


fb = yf.download('fb', start, end) #fb call
fb['Name'] = "fb"

nflx = yf.download('nflx', start, end) #nflx call
nflx['Name'] = 'nflx'

aapl = yf.download('aapl', start, end) 
aapl['Name'] = "aapl"

stocks = fb.append([nflx, aapl])
stocks['date'] = stocks.index

 

The code runs perfeclty fine in PyCharm so it seems to be a PBI issue.

@Anonymous Please install all the packages that you are mentioning in the python script in Power BI, explicitly in Command Prompt.

 

Open Command Prompt >  for example, type in " py -m pip install pandas" without quotes and then try running the py script in Power BI.

It worked for me.

 

Cheers. 

This work for me in PBI Desktop

My dash works on Desktop, but when I go online it says it didn't find the modules.

I'm not a Python script experts I did a lot of searching for this error, there is no result about Power bi,

It seems to be a Python issue. You may try some solutions about it.

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