Hi Zischke Barnes,

"Thank you for your patience."

"Better whenever you start the lab don't open other windows until the lab completes":

A suggestion for conducting laboratory work. It advises against opening additional windows or distractions during the lab session. The implication is that focusing solely on the lab task at hand without diverting attention elsewhere will lead to better outcomes or efficiency.

Before you start the lab click the downloaded lab files to D-drive as highlighted in below screenshot.

Hi Syed
This is becoming quite frustrating. I've closed all apps, and redid all the steps but the file is still not available. I think it might be because it is a txt file and the options in the drop down menu is only powerbi files. Please see screenshot
