Hi,
I have been encountering error running python scrips in Power BI for vizualization purposes. Moreover, I wanted a clarification if i can run interactive python scripts in PowerBI.
I am encoutering the following error -
DataSource.Error: ADO.NET: Python script error.

df_pr_data=pd.read_excel('C:\Users\tntnt\Desktop\ADM.xlsx')
^

Looking forward to a response.
that error is caused by your source data. And no, you cannot have interactive Python visuals. Only static renderings.
