The data file is an Excel spreadsheet called default_of_credit_card_clients__courseware_version_1_21_19.xls. We recommend you first open the spreadsheet in Excel or the spreadsheet program of your choice. Note the number of rows and columns. Look at some example values. This will help you know whether or not you have loaded it correctly in the Jupyter notebook.

Note

The dataset can be obtained from the following link: https://packt.link/wensZ. This is a modified version of the original dataset, which has been sourced from the UCI Machine Learning Repository [http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml]. Irvine, CA: University of California, School...
