Latent Variable scores

Hi,

Thank you very much for your respected efforts in this forum.

I have one question, when i run the PLS algorithm to calculate the Latent Variable scores, after pasting them into excel, i found that i have only 428 rows, while my original sample size is 442.. what is the reason behind this difference?

Thank you in advance

Hi,
usually is a problem with the selection of data in the "copy" moment.
Try again.

Best regards,

Thank you very much for your quick reply Prof Bido.

The truth i have tried several times but unfortunately i had the same result.

when i checked the number of the cases which is calculated under latent variable score (unstandardized), i found that the program processed only 427 of my observations while my original observation in the csv file is 442..

Do you have any other suggestion Prof. Bido which can help in solving this problem..

Thank you in advance
