Please see this tutorial https://galaxyproject.org/tutorials/ngs/#organizing-and-qcing-multiple-datasets for:
- How to create fastq dataset collections
- How to run FastQC in batch on collections
- How to generate a MultiQC report based on those FastQC results in a collection
Double checks: Make sure the MultiQC tool form is set up correctly for this use case (all covered by the video in the tutorial):
- FastQC reports are in a dataset collection
- “FastQC” is set as the report type.
- “Dataset Collections” are set as the input type.
- Pick the “raw” results (text report). The “html” results are not appropriate.
My guess is that either item 2 or 3 was not set properly on the FastQC tool form.
