title: Anaconda in Windows with Power BI
body: <p>I am trying to work with Python in my Windows 10 Machine.  My Anaconda environment can be set by executing the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\Users\bharat.c.rupare.&gt; call c:\Users\bharat.c.ruparel\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this sets up the conda environment and then I am good to go.  However, I am trying to run Python code using numpy and pandas which are pre-installed in the Anaconda stack within Power BI.  When I do that, Power BI complains that it cannot find numpy.  I understand why; because the conda environment has not been activated from within Power BI.</p>
  
  <p>What do I need to do to activate the conda environment so that Power BI can find the python packages such as numpy, pandas?</p>
