I know there are a lot of answers to this already but I would like to put in my two cents. When creating a virtual environment in anaconda launcher you still need to install the packages you need. This is deceiving because I assumed since I was using anaconda that packages such as pandas, numpy etc would be include. This is not the case. It gives you a fresh environment with none of those packages installed, at least mine did. All my packages installed into the environment with no problem and work correctly.
