Issue running python script via PyCharm but not Anaconda Prompt

Question

When I run a script in Anaconda Prompt, it works fine.

When I try to run it via PyCharm, I get this error related to the import of pandas.

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/PycharmProjects/CARA/DocumentAccessCheck.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/PycharmProjects/CARA/DocumentAccessCheck.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    "Missing required dependencies {0}".format(missing_dependencies))
ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']

Process finished with exit code 1

If I try to import numpy and run it via PyCharm I get:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/PycharmProjects/CARA/DocumentAccessCheck.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
    from . import multiarray
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "C:/Users/MYUSERNAME/PycharmProjects/CARA/DocumentAccessCheck.py", line 2, in <module>
    import numpy as np

    raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError: 
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed.  Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control).  Otherwise reinstall numpy.

Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Running the same script in Anaconda prompt...no problem

My run configuration in PyCharm uses the Anaconda python distribution?

It should be noted that I am not using envirnoments, just the base Anaconda installation. More worryingly I dont see ANY Conda options in the project settings in PyCharm which a lot of tutorials seem to allude to.

I am not using environments, just the based python environment. This has never been an issue before, just suddenly appeared. @RolandWeber — smackenzie, Jul 12 '19 at 13:56

Seems like a problem with the path for your scripts. Are you sure You have included your scripts in the PATH variable? If so are you sure your libraries are downloading/installing in that path?

what does a path have to do with it, if I am running the script directly from within PyCharm. Anaconda is set as the distirbution to use, although I am not using conda environments, just the base environment, – smackenzie Jul 12 '19 at 13:55
