Unable to select a tabular dataset

Good morning. It is my first time using Galaxy/hutlab. I have uploaded a text tab-delimited file and it apears in my history. I am trying to use it to perform the first step of LEfSe (A. Format data for LEfSe) but i am not able to select any file as the drop-down menu does not work and doest not appear when I click on the first option. I can not select either which rows have to be used as class or subject (I am not able to select anything in the items on the red circles). Should I do anything else before this step appart from uploading my text tab-delimited file?

Thanks.

You need to change the datatype of your txt file. You can do that by clicking on the pencil icon of the file. After that a new window will appear, on top of that window you will find some tabs, choose the datatype tab.

hi gbbio,

I have the same issue, and I tried your solution, it still doesn’t work. The most wierd thing is, before this issue occurs, I just galaxy to do lefse analysis yesterday, it worked, but when I use another dataset, it doesn’t work anymore. The file I am using is tab-delimited text, and I do have class, ID, the drop-down menu didn’t work. I compared the file format that worked and file that doesn’t, it doesn’t have any difference regarding the format. I am wondering is this due to the platform issue? I have seen many other users posted this issue at other places. Could you help us ?

Thanks,
Godric

This post is very old, maybe things changed. On which galaxy are you working and which tool are you using exactly? And is the problem that you can not select your file for input?

For https://usegalaxy.eu/ for example the input type is mothur.shared

Maybe you need to create a new topic and describe your exact problem.
