Hi, I’m trying to input a file from kallisto and I keep getting a key input error on the annotate my IDs function. My headers are called target\_id\_eightfiveoneseven and est\_countseightfiveoneseven. The file has two rows; the first column is the transcript ID from ensembl and the second is the est count column. The transcript names look odd for example one looks like ENST00000631435.1. Even though I select the ensembl transcript ID it still doesn’t seem to recognize the input.since I get a key error. Error in .testForValidKeys(x, keys, keytype, fks) : None of the keys entered are valid keys for ‘ENSEMBLTRANS’. Please use the keys method to see a listing of valid arguments. Calls: select … select -\> .select -\> testSelectArgs -\> .testForValidKeys My table headers are unique and are called target\_id\_eightfiveoneseven and est\_counts\_eightfiveoneseven. Does anyone spot errors in the names of the input files? Thanks! ---

\*Update- I’ve Switched the name of the identifier in column one to ENSEMBLTRANS but I still get the same key error message. I left my est\_count title the same. K ---

Hello @Kiera_Drew45 Try removing the `.N` (where N is some number) from the identifiers. Tool choices include: `Replace parts of text` [data-manipulation-olympics/tutorial.html#cheatsheet](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/introduction/tutorials/data-manipulation-olympics/tutorial.html#cheatsheet) Hope that helps! ---

Hi @jennaj, I’ve tried to remove the number following the decimal place individually. The annotate my ids function runs, but the output just gives NA for geneid & symbol. For whatever reason, the mapping function doesn’t work if I edit the ensembltrans ID column. Would it be easier to use a different reference transcriptome file? Or do all cdna sequences have the same format as ENST00000631435.1? I’m using Homo\_sapiens.GRCh38.cdna.all.fa from Ensembl. [ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-97/fasta/homo\_sapiens/cdna/](ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-97/fasta/homo_sapiens/cdna/) Thanks for your help! K ---

> [@Kiera\_Drew45](#): > > I’ve tried to remove the number following the decimal place individually. Sorry to hear that didn’t work. Just to double-check, make sure you are removing the “dot”, too. You could also try Uniprot instead. That will also need the dot+version removed from the IDs. Ensembl choices are under the option `Choose your database category (FROM):` Hope that works out (it should). May take some test runs to find out which options (to + from) return the results you need. Thanks! ---
