can't import the bike rental data

Question

I am on "Fundamental of Machine Learnig"- Exercise - Explore Automated Machine Learning in Azure Machine Learning.

I took the steps below and I am having error
Choose a source for your data asset > From URI > https://aka.ms/bike-rentals > do not select "Skip data validation"**
※** The instruction says select From web files but there isn't such an option.

File https://aka.ms/bike-rentals/MLTable is empty. Please make sure it's a valid MLTable which must match the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-data?tabs=uri-file-example%2Ccli-data-create-example#uris). If you want to proceed, consider checking "Skip data validation" and click "Next." We will not validate your data path or query, or try to access your data for preview and schema checks.

Skip data validation

We have successfully attempted the process from our end without encountering any issues, as shown in the screenshots below.

Answer 3

If we go with Web URL / Specify a URI option, its still throwing error as there is no files at https://aka.ms/bike-rentals.

It gives me an error:
"The provided path is not valid or the files could not be accessed. You can still use this Web URL by selecting "Skip data validation" and continuing, but the URL won’t be validated and the data won’t be read, which also means no preview or schema check can be generated."

What can I do to resolve these problem?

Answer 4

Temporary solution:
https://www.kaggle.com/c/bike-sharing-demand/data?select=test.csv

Until Microsoft fixes problem, please try to use these data, download to your files, and use if I am not mistaken test.csv, then you must not select "Target column: rentals (integer)" but "count" rest do the same as in the curs, there are steal ofc some differences then in real azure, these lessons are not being updated.

For Microsoft worker, please provide good link with data, and go throw everything that was in that curse and in real azure Machine Learning Studio and fix the differences, because there are differences

if anyone know how to create a json to test that model please let me know ;)

Guys!

1. Choose the ‘tabular’ type.
2. Download the file from this link: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-aml-labs/blob/master/data/daily-bike-share.csv
3. In the data source, select ‘From local files’ and choose the file you downloaded.
