On doing Iris = dataset(“datasets”, “iris”), I get the following error -

Iris

Welcome! Can you provide a minimum working example (MWE) showing what packages you’re using before getting this error? Also, what versions of Julia and packages are you using (type `] status` at the REPL to see your package versions).

Also, FYI, you can format your code by enclosing it in triple backticks (````some code````) as described [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757).

The problem is most likely not related to DataFrames.jl. I would be good to know what versions of packages you have installed?
