Hey @RamG79, thanks for reporting. This looks like an installation issue with Pandas.

To fix it, please open Teminal.app and run there

conda install -f pandas

If that doesn't fix the issue, please run

conda install pandas=1.1

Finally, if the issue persists, I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall Anaconda. For that, please see our video about it.

@ccordoba12 Thank you. "conda install -f pandas" fixed the problem... actually I started seeing this after upgrading the Spyder version from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5 - so looks like during that process some links got messed up. It is working fine now. Appreciate your time and advise. Thanks again.
