Error on Validation

Post by manamaren »

I have a sample size of 308 and have assured that there is no missing data in the .csv document. How ever I am getting the following message when I try to validate the data: 308: The dataset 308 has 0 columns, but there are 41 indicators in total.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it!
Would be very much obliged :)

Hi

Please check the different language formats and seperators. Also, take a look at www.pls-sem.com -> Downloads. Here, you find some sample projects and sample data files that might be useful.

Best regards,

Dear All,

Hi,

One issue of why this is the case, because you use CSV format 2007 on SmartPLS 2.

Hi,

Save your data into CSV format 2003.
