通过 Python 将 CSV 导入 Power BI 时出现“访问被拒绝”错误

Question

I'm trying to integrate python into my Power BI workflow. I was following this tutorial on the Datacamp website , but I'm having trouble importing a dataset.

I've opened the python scripting area, and my code is very simple:

import pandas as pd

print("Hello world")

dataset = pd.read_csv("sandbox\\data_science_practice\\introduction-to-python-in-power-bi\\Datasets\\consume.csv")

print(dataset)

Note: I've trimmed off the first part of the path for privacy

I've run the code snippet in Visual Studio Code with no issue. In Power BI, however, I'm hit with this error:

Can anyone help with what permissions it's referring to?

Answer 1

If the same code runs well in Visual Studio Code, but not in Power BI, it is likely a firewall issue, specially because you can read "Unable to connect" on that error message.

So, to test this, disable temporarily your firewall and retry. If it works, you just need to add a permission to your firewall, to allow connections from Power BI.

Answer 2

Figured out the issue. I had installed python from the Microsoft store as per the suggestion for VS code, but while it worked really well with VS Code, it didn't work well with Power BI.
