Hi All

 

I am attempted to use the Python connector in Power BI for the first time, I set up an environment using Anaconda using the following commands 

 

  • (base) C:\Users\ajay_>conda create -n new_env_pbi python==3.7
  • Proceed ([y]/n)? y
  • (base) C:\Users\ajay_>conda activate new_env_pbi
  • (new_env_pbi) C:\Users\ajay_>pip install pandas
  • (new_env_pbi) C:\Users\ajay_> pip install seaborn

I then tried to use the Python Connector in Power BI Desktop using this and got the above error

 

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv ("C:/Users/ajay_/OneDrive/Desktop/Files/Power BI/Courses/Python Courses/Python for Power Bi Users/HR_file.csv")

 

Anyone seen this before and can you see what I may have done wrong?

Thank you for the reply

 

I now get this error

Hi @ajay_gajree ,

 

Please use "//" in a string path.

Please try this code:

df = pd.read_csv ("C:\\Users\\ajay_\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Files\\Power BI\\Courses\\Python Courses\\Python for Power Bi Users\\HR_file.csv")
