I am trying to read a csv file to my Jupyter notebook using Python 3

address = 'C:/Users/X/Y/Z/Data.csv'
data = pd.read_csv(address)

This is the message I am getting:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xee in position 0: invalid continuation byte

Any suggestions? I am having trouble understanding what it wants from me to do with the data in order to load it. Thanks a lot !

You haven't shown anything about how you're trying to read the file. All we can say is that there's an issue with decoding to utf8, but the error already tells you that – roganjosh Mar 04 '20 at 08:49
How are you reading CSV? – Kris Mar 04 '20 at 08:49
