Contents of the console windowStrangely, I have three columns of my 2020 dataset, including Time, Location and Text. I am trying to use variables and headings section to generate characteristic words, but nothing like the screenshot appears.
I tried to delete the corpus and then reloaded the corpus on KH Coder but got the same result.
I am very curious. I am using the same method, but I got characteristic words for the 2016 dataset and the 2024 dataset.
So what happened? Is there anything wrong with my method? |

Looking at the screenshot, it looks like the only value for the "Time" variable is "2020". If other values such as "2016" or "2024" exist, KH Coder can compare them with "2020" to find out the characteristic words of "2020". To see the characteristics of "2020", you will need an Excel file that contains not only "2020" but also "2016" and "2024". This is also necessary to see the characteristics of "2016" and "2024". In other words, no matter which year you want to see the characteristics of, all you need is a single data file (Excel file) that contains data for all years. |

Looking at the screenshot, it looks like 4109 rows of the data was loaded. Is there data for 2020 or 2016 after that? If so, we recommend using Excel's "CLEAN" function to remove any invisible characters that may preventing the process. |
