Scatter Plot Error Message

JordanHowell

I'm trying to render a scatter chart with two continuous variables.  I'm getting the following error:

 

"Tool #2: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos):"  

 

Does anyone know what that means?

Hi Jordan,

 

Not familiar with that particular message, but tool #2 in the Scatterplot Macro is the R tool. Whenever you use the R based predictive tools the rules for stricter than Alteryx in general. My checklist is:

 

Making sure your field names only have letter, numbers, periods and underscores  (no spaces!) (don't start with a number).

Upper case and lower case makes a difference.

Make sure you don't have any missing values (Nulls) (use the DATA CLENSE tool)

You don't want fields with only one value (constants)

Make sure you field types are correct (strings vs. doubles vs. Integers)

 

Usually error like that are naming/data based.

 

Please follow-up if that doesn't work.

 

Cheers,
Bob
