Hi, I’m having teething troubles using MatMiner and I hope someone can tell me what the solution is. When I try to import an existing dataset I get an error because the data is not being decoded correctly. It is trying to use a “cp1252” decoder: is this right? If it should be using a different decoder, how can I can change it to the correct one? Any advice would be grateful appreciated.
