Juypter Notebook | CSV&XLXS | File not found

Question

When I try to open files using pd.read_cvs, or pd.read_excel in Juytper notebooks I keep getting file not found Error 2

I'm currently working through a python book called "Python for MBAS," and I am at the section where it teaches how to upload excel and cvs files from your local computer to juypter notebooks. When following the steps that the books has given me I continue to get the File not found error error 2.

I used the os os.cwd, os.chdir method, but nothing seems to be working. Also when I open the excel file it says that is not Unicoded - 8, but when I checked the document its says that it has the correct unicode.[enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LECEr.png)

I have been at this for over a week at this point.

import pandas as pd import numpy as np import os
