Hi Ashakah, thanks for reaching out! From what I understand you're trying to load the billboard data set. In this case you can do the following: 1. Add the path directory to your file, along with the name: read.csv("C:\...\billboard.csv") Alternatively, you can add the csv file into your R root directory, in which case you'll be able to access it directly only via file name like so: read.csv("billboard.csv") Hope this helps! Best, 365 Eli
