I’m a rookie at this!!! I am having an issue with loading a csv file onto a notebook which I need to complete for an assignment. I am not sure where I am missing a comma or ) but i have tried several variations and this hasn’t worked. Any advice would be very helpful.

Your file path needs to be passed as a String by surrounding it in quotes. I.E. CSV. read(“C:/path/to/file.csv”, DataFrame)
