It looks like those columns are not in your data set. Since you're trying to drop them, it shouldn't matter.

You could try replacing the drop code with this:

df.drop(columns=obsolete_columns, inplace=True, errors='ignore')

This will tell pandas to ignore the error that's being raised because the columns are not in the DataFrame.

Hi Chris I've run the example code as provided w/o mods. Ran your suggested change (line 28) and got another error as seen below. I'm not an experienced "Pandite", but rely only on the provided code. Thanks for your help

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Hmm. I'm not sure what't going on. It's likely there's an error earlier in the script and the files are downloaded or processed properly. You should try to look at the downloaded files and make sure they are placed in the correct directories and have the right content.

I realize that's a little vague for a new user but I think its likely something changed and the files are stored differently.

Hi Chris Here's a snippet from the imported file list. All have a MESS_DATUM column. Is MESS_DATUM format the problem? It is rejected by df["MESS_DATUM"] = pd.to_datetime(df["MESS_DATUM"], format="%Y%m%d%H") 17 2 Dir(s) 434,812,313,600 bytes...

I re-ran this on my local machine and the file I see looks like yours so I think the date format is ok.

Is it possible that there is an extra file in your import directory? Look at each of the files and make sure they are all formatted the same.
