1. Check if pandas is installed:

   bash

   Copy

   pip show pandas
   

   If not installed:

   bash

   Copy

   pip install pandas
   

2. If installed but not working:

   bash

   Copy

   pip uninstall pandas
   pip install pandas --upgrade
   

3. Ensure dependencies are installed:

   bash

   Copy

   pip install numpy --upgrade
   

4. Try a clean environment:

   bash

   Copy

   python -m venv temp_env
   

   • Windows: temp_env\Scripts\activate

   • Mac/Linux: source temp_env/bin/activate
     Then:

   bash

   Copy

   pip install pandas
   

5. Check for error messages:
   Run your script directly in terminal:

   bash

   Copy

   python your_script.py
   

6. Verify VS Code is using the right Python:

   • Press Ctrl+Shift+P

   • Select "Python: Select Interpreter"

   • Choose the Python where pandas is installed

If still not working, share the exact error message from the terminal.
