How To Get Numpy Working Properly In Anaconda Python 3.7.6

I am trying to use NumPy in Python. I have just installed Anaconda Python 3.7, and that all seemed to go smoothly. However, I cannot import numpy(using the line import numpy). When

Solution 1:

As mentioned in the comments by @cel uninstalling and reinstalling numpy using pip uninstall numpy and pip install numpy made it work.

Solution 2:

Open the Anaconda Prompt: Then, you have to go to the Conda Environment that you want to use in PowerBI. Am having an environment 'temp', so I activate it first in the 'Anaconda Prompt':

(base) C:\Users\ashish>conda activate temp

Then I go to the directory having the "PowerBI" executable file in the installation folder:

(temp) C:\Users\ashish>cd"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin"

Then, I launch PowerBI from the Prompt:

(temp) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin>PBIDesktop.exe

This fixes the NumPy error you are getting. If you want any other package to use with PowerBI, install that package in the respective "Conda Environment" (in my case it is "temp").

Make sure the Python home directory (Anaconda3) has been added to the 'Power BI Desktop' global options in the Python scripting section too.
