Cannot open a dataframe in Jupyter Notebook

Question

I am new to python and have learnt the basics. Tried to open a .csv file in my Jupyter Notebook but receiving an OSError when I run it. Tried entering the root address too but to no avail.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("vgsales.csv")
df

ERROR : OSError Traceback (most recent call last) in 1 import pandas as pd ----> 2 df = pd.read_csv("vgsales.csv") 3 df OSError: Initializing from file failed

The solutions for this error may be

Try to give the complete path name, which the directory where the file is present.
Make sure that there is not space after the .csv extension
Do not simply name the file with the extension .csv , we should convert the file to the .csv extension. Mostly in windows it will be in .xlsx extension.
