I note that you are on Windows from the type of path you have typed. Are you using OneDrive at all?  
That has really caused in issue of Windows users not actually knowing where the files are located. See [the very end of this post](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/unable-to-open-old-notebook-in-conda-environment-oserror-22-invalid-argument/10352/2), the links there, and the reply by daSandvich for some guidance.

You may want to read [this post](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/convert-from-py-to-ipynb-format/9993/4) about how to explore your file system from within the notebook to convince yourself that the path you have pointed `np.read_csv()` is or is not the case. And maybe find the file and fix your path.

For future posts on this forum, you’ll want to take advantage of how to post code so others can run it. Luckily, your code in this case didn’t have an indenting that would get lost by just pasting, as you did. You should use markdown to signal a code block as you are composing your posts. See the ‘Block code formatting’ section [here](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/discourse-guide-code-formatting/30587) for how to do that. That works great for small blocks, like what you posted.  
If your need to post a lot of code or a log of something, it is better to use a gist ([gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com)) or other snippet sharing sites such as pastebin, see [10 Best Pastebin Alternatives](https://quickfever.com/best-pastebin-alternative/).
