Hi @nisar ,

You need to scroll down and you find it. Look at screen below, I've marked location with red arrow:

That is just a zip with a manifest, no dbc in there. Numerous people have this issue -- myself included.

[szymon_dybczak]

No, it's zip file with manifest and content

[szymon_dybczak]

And to prove it further, look at ther url. Same course number as in your case:

[ngpiesco]

.dbc file NOT a zip. the video instructs you to import it. you cannot advance following this

[ngpiesco]

okay, find the dbc file in there. there is the manifest like I said, and some directories with .py files

There is no dbc file.

[szymon_dybczak]

But are you aware that all you need is inside this zip file? And that you can import that zip file into your workspace just like DBC file? 

[ngpiesco]

yes, aware you can upload zip files. but you cannot follow the instructions as is. the contents of the dbc/zip file are not explored until much later in the learning module after you're instructed to locate and import the .dbc

there are numerous other topics/threads on associate and advanced of individuals experiencing the same issue. it would do databricks well to update their instruction videos or switch back to .dbc to make this clear.

[ngpiesco]

to be clear, you can upload the .zip in a volume but that isn't useful, or you can unzip it and attempt to try to match the contents of the unzipped file to the academy course/video. either way it is a convoluted and unclear process that leaves much to be desired vs the original method of the .dbc upload plug-n-play.

but that is not a good UX for anyone trying to learn.

[ngpiesco]

to be explicit, it is not even a little bit clear how one would get from the .zip to this. which is the first mention of utilizing the contents of the .dbc file.
