(It doesn't work if you're not inside the cell, because then it doesn't know which cell to run. Another approach is to look at the top filebar thing, and try "Cell" -> "Run all", which should definitely work.)

ok maybe they are running? Is something supposed to happen when they run? I can successfully create more lines, as evidenced by the screenshot

the filepath here should be replaced with whatever the full filepath to your target file is (I think this can be a little finnicky to find on a Mac), and the '\t' might need to be ',' depending on what sort of csv it is

I think putting an r before the string -pd.read_csv(r'C:\Users\…) - will fix this, though I'm on a Mac so might have this wrong for windows filestrings.

You’re dealing with the fallout of a long-standing argument between Windows and other operating systems. Python, like Macs, uses ‘\’ to mean that the next character isn’t really what it looks like. For example, ‘\t’ is a tab. Reverse the slashes to ‘/‘ and that’ll fix it.
