Error in Decision Tree

I am running a normal decision tree model on some financial data and getting the following error:

Error: Decision Tree (15): Tool #30: Exception parse error line: 2 column: 363 Expected entity name for reference

First of all, there is no Tool#30 in the module. I don't understand the error at all. Unfortunately, I cannot share the data as it is highly confidential. I am attaching the module along. There is no special selection I have done in the Tree macro.

The module, however, does not stop at this macro. When I use this model to score a data set, only one record is being scored and the rest are being output as null.

If anyone has encountered anything like this, please help. I can answer questions about the data if any. It is a straightforward data set about financial disputes between companies. Thanks!

Since we have no access to your data, it's somewhat difficult to replicate the bug. I tweaked the Decision Tree macro to create an extra output directly before tool 30. Maybe it'll help you get an idea of if the data going into it (i.e. coming from the model) is the problem or if something strange is going on in that reporting tool.

Tool #30 is within the Decision Tree macro inside Alteryx

Making a very quick guess - I see you have a dot at the end of the column name Billing_Doc. in Select 6

I would suggest trimming the '.' and try again.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just saw the tool inside the macro and it is just related to the text that is being output in the result. While I have removed the . from billing_doc and in fact removed all other variables not being used in the model, the error is still there. But now that I know what it is, I am guessing that this error will not affect the model in any way.

However I am still getting null values in the scoring but for one record. Still can't figure out why this is happening. I have removed all unnecessary variables from the test set as well.
