I am trying to run a python script on some data I keep getting this error even If I run nothing like I just run it still gives me this code

1. First assuming you have installed the latest version of python.
2.  Open command prompt then check where the python is installed by typing - where python and it will give you the path like this C:\Users\anura\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
3. Open powerbi Options and settings from the File options and click on python script, then click on browse and then go the folder where your python is installed as mentioned in step 2.

With above steps i was able to overcome the acess denied error.

Hi,

Does your script works when run outside of Power BI? Also do you have credentials and permissions set up in "data source settings"?

My script runs fine in VS code for the permissions can you guide to check it I could not find Data Source section 

UPDATE: I am using the App on Windows 10 and privacy set to none

Here is a good discussion about this in stackoverflow: import - "Access is denied" error while importing CSV to Power BI via Python - Stack Overflow

Basically check these things:

1. Can you access the data source on its own. Also try setting the privacy level to public.

2. Does the Python work outside PBI (you said this is okay)

3. Is the Python installed correctly from PBI's persoective

Hi,

Since the issue persists even with those answers I think the problem is the python location. Going back to the stackoverflow discussion I recommend checking your path settings:

"

If none of that works, and you are using Anaconda the hardest solution is to launch the PowerBI Desktop executable from the Anaconda Prompt after activating the environment in which you want to run the Python script. The command to use to launch Power BI Desktop is as follows:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin\PBIDesktop.exe

At that point PowerBI Desktop opens and, repeating the steps from before to run the sample Python code, you should be ok.

NOTE: Please ensure you add Anaconda to System Environment Variable Path list:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3 C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin

My Python Installation was (is) under 

You may have to change the locaton inside PowerBI to 

C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python

Hope this helps..
