'Unable to import 'pandas_profiling' module
I have installed 'pandas_profiling' through conda install -c conda-forge pandas-profiling in the base environment. I could see through the conda list that pandas_profiling has been installed correctly (snapshot attached),

When I try to import pandas_profiling I receive ModuleNotFoundError
import pandas_profiling
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-4-60d2bac64bfc>", line 1, in <module>
import pandas_profiling
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas_profiling'
Update: output of import sys; print(sys.path); print(sys.prefix)

This is a frequent issue, check out this entry in the FAQ.
Solution 2:[2]
Occasionally you will encounter this error if you import a package from the current notebook. It is important to ensure that the pip version is associated with the current Python kernel. That way, the installed packages can be used in the current notebook.
As detailed here, the shell environment and the Python executable are disconnected.
This should work for you
import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install pandas-profiling
