Hi,

I was using AMOS, and I was suggested to use PLS. I simply cannot get started. and keep receiving the same message on the errors of my file (I have used my SPSS file and saved it under CSV semi-colon).

1: The dataset 1 has 1 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
2: The dataset 2 has 3 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
3: The dataset 3 has 38 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
4: The dataset 4 has 23 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
5: The dataset 5 has 11 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
6: The dataset 6 has 11 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
7: The dataset 7 has 23 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
8: The dataset 8 has 118 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
9: The dataset 9 has 72 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
10: The dataset 10 has 79 columns, but there are 124 indicators in total.
... there are 120 more errors, which are not shown here


Does any one have a solution for this topic which seems basic but blocks me.

Hi,
the data set should not have strings or blanks.

If this is not the problem, I suggest you to copy/paste the data to a new spreadsheet.

Best regards,

Bido
