Greetings, I am trying to upload my dataset for LefSe and I keep getting the following error. I have tried troubleshooting many times but still it is not moving forward. Can anyone provide any suggestions? Traceback (most recent call last): File “/galaxy\_venv/bin/lefse\_format\_input.py”, line 33, in sys.exit(load\_entry\_point(‘lefse==1.1.2’, ‘console\_scripts’, ‘lefse\_format\_input.py’)()) File “/galaxy\_venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/lefse-1.1.2-py3.7.egg/lefse/lefse\_format\_input.py”, line 449, in format\_input File “/galaxy\_venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/lefse-1.1.2-py3.7.egg/lefse/lefse\_format\_input.py”, line 192, in numerical\_values File “/galaxy\_venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/lefse-1.1.2-py3.7.egg/lefse/lefse\_format\_input.py”, line 192, in ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘Sample9’ ---

I am working on the Galaxy Module for the LefSe Analysis. After uploading my files on this server, I keep getting the above mentioned error. I have tried checking the formatting of the file via Notepad ++, tried my level best in double checking the format, still I am not getting through the process. ---

Hi @Ayushi_Bhagat If you are working at this server below, there is another forum that is a better place to learn about both of your possible situations: problems with the server itself or problems with how your specific work is being done. Does this look right? Or are you working somewhere else? Where? > [@Troubleshooting resources for errors or unexpected results](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/troubleshooting-resources-for-errors-or-unexpected-results/42/1): > > #### Alternative support forums > > When working at certain Galaxy sites, questions are best asked at the places the scientists who run the server host discussions. They can also let you know if there happen to be any current technical problems that may be impacting your analysis.
