I am getting the following error message when I tried to load .TXT data file to GSEA 4.2.1. I tried different way to change the file name as .GCT but not working. Any suggestion? Many thanks.

  • $\begingroup$ Can you elaborate on what was not correctly formatted? I followed the instruction on their manual .txt and am getting this same error. Thank you. $\endgroup$

I just figured out the error. My .TXT was not correctly formated, following the instruction from their manual under .TXT format worked.
