Hello,

 

It looks like GSEA is not parsing your dataset properly. It appears to be loading in the file using the parser for .TXT files which need to be formatted to this specification: https://software.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/gsea/wiki/index.php/Data_formats#TXT:_Text_file_format_for_expression_dataset_.28.2A.txt.29

 

I would suspect based on the error that this file was formatted as a GCT file: https://software.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/gsea/wiki/index.php/Data_formats#GCT:_Gene_Cluster_Text_file_format_.28.2A.gct.29

But the file extension wasn't changed from .txt to .gct.

 

If checking the data format and file extension and making sure that they match the appropriate specification doesn't resolve your issue please let us know and we can take a closer look at the data files and see what might be going wrong.

 

-Anthony
