Hey, all! Taking a course on SEM, and I'm trying to run a CFA to make sure that six items all load on to one factor as they're supposed to. However, I'm getting the following error: *** ERROR The number of observations is 0. Check your data and format statement. Data file: I:\Psychological WB CFA.csv *** ERROR Non-missing blank found in data file at record #1, field #: 2 I've checked the file. There are no blank spaces. As you can see, it's a CSV file. I removed the variable names when I converted from SAV. Where did I go wrong? |

It sounds like you have blanks in the data set. This is not allowed with free format data. Check the record and field mentioned in the error message. |

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my CFA analisys, the software Mplus show me the following text: *** ERROR The number of observations is 0. Check your data and format statement. Data file: spss.dat *** ERROR Invalid symbol in data file: "" at record #: 1, field #: 1 My data set is from SPSS but I don´t have any symbol in the first field. Can you help me? |

Open the data set in the Mplus Editor. You will see the symbol at the beginning of the data set. Remove it and resave the data. |
