Error on jupyter while trying to import data

Question

I tried importing data and I keep getting error msg.
raw_cvs_data = pd.read_csv('Absenteeism_data.csv')

FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

Hi Adekemi!

Thanks for reaching out.

If you were to use this line of code,

raw_cvs_data = pd.read_csv('Absenteeism_data.csv')

then please make sure you've placed the Absenteeism_data.csv file in the same directory as the Notebook Document you are currently using.
Otherwise, please add the path to the directory where you've stored this *.csv file right after opening the single quotes:

... pd.read_csv('path_to_directory/Absenteeism_data.csv')

Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin
