Linear Regression Predictive Tool Error

When I attempt to run a simple linear regression, I get the error:

"Tool 170: The input '#1' was not initialized."

 

How do I fix this and what am I doing wrong?

 

I checked the variable types, and they are both Double.

Can you show us your Linear Regression tool configuration?

I'm betting, based off your profile name, that you're running Alteryx Designer in a Windows VM on a Mac with an Apple silicon, which required that you installed ARM version of Windows.

 

Alteryx isn't fully compatible on ARM OS's, which the biggest impact I've seen is on the predictive tools.

Will these photos suffice?

I am running an Admin version of Alteryx Designer on a Lenovo laptop with a Windows configuration.

If you haven't run it, I would run the workflow. Otherwise try selecting a second predictor - a one variable model is a bit odd

I ran the workflow multiple times. I tried multiple predictors. I tried a different type of regression. I even tried a different dataset. All resulted in a similar error of "The input '#1' was not initialized."

I am also using the most-recent Admin versions of Alteryx Designer and the Alteryx Predictive Tools.

Last thing I would check is if you have null data and remove those rows!

In a previous workflow attempt, I cleaned the data to do that, and I received the same error. Thank you for all the help, btw!
