Hi Oberewu, Are you sure that the Jupyter notebook file and the dataset are in the same folder? Usually that's the easiest way to approach the issue. However, if you still have a problem with that, then you can use the absolute path of a file when loading the data. Thus, you can write: data = pd.read_csv(‘ABSOLUTE_PATH/1.01. Simple linear regression.csv’) To me this looks like: data = pd.read_csv('C:/Users/365/Desktop/Advanced_Statistical_Methods_(Machine_Learning)/1.01. Simple linear regression.csv') In your case, you can find that by opening the folder containing the files and copy-pasting the path. Once you copy-paste this path, you should CHANGE ALL SLASHES from backward to forward. This means that if your path is C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_NAME\Desktop\... , you should make it look like: C:/Users/YOUR_COMPUTER_NAME/Desktop/… Note that, due to the standards for referencing paths, in Python, instead of a backward slash ( \ ), you should use a forward slash ( / ).

...Just find the path of your file, and follow the directives given by the 365 Team, especially, remembering to change the backward slash (\) into forward slash(/), and it will be done...
