How to download the exercises from Lecture 1 without downloading a zip.

[vzmijewski4616]

I tried typing the code from the video in Google Colab and get this message "head: cannot open 'data/sales_data.csv' for reading: No such file or directory". In the issues, it seems that people need to download the zip and open it in VS Code. Is there a simpler way to do it? I want to use Google Colab, not VS Code. It would be helpful if we could actually download the datasets. These kinds of obstacles for beginners can be so frustrating - not being able to get past the first step (which should be simple) makes me want to give up lol.

exactly I am too facing the same issue. I want to download the file in whatever format or even compressed. Can we copy the data in csv format?

@vzmijewski4616 I just found this #21

or download the zip repository and copy the file path or past it to your desired location and use
sales = pd.read_csv('C:/Users/xyz/Desktop/sales_data.csv', parse_dates= ['Date'])
