Answer 1

By default pandas assumes your csv is separated by commas ',', you should pass the proper separator to the read_csv call.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('D:\\work\\amazon\\move_in_links\\final.csv', sep=';')

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html

Answer 2

File appears to be separated by ;. Try:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('D:\\work\\amazon\\move_in_links\\final.csv',sep=";")

Answer 3

The approach suggested by Ransaka works

Blockquote

use delimiter as ; so you should pass external argument sep=';. Try using df = pd.read_csv('YOUR_CSV_PATH', sep=';')

Blockquote

and you can just use the file name as it is instead of a path.
