I have a python notebook A in Azure Databricks having import statement as below:

import xyz, datetime, ...

I have another notebook xyz being imported in notebook A as shown in above code. When I run notebook A, it throws the following error: 

ImportError: No module named xyz

Both notebooks are in the same workspace directory. Can anyone help in resolving this?

The only way to import notebooks is by using the run command:

%run /Shared/MyNotebook

or relative path:

%run ./MyNotebook
