error(ignoring discrete feature) in Orange tool hierarchical clustering

Question

I am new to orange tool. Using hierarchical clustering i load the data set as .csv format. When i open distances tool it shows error like ignoring discrete feature or continuous.

Please anyone help me to recover the problem as soon as possible.

Answer 1

When computing distances, Orange ignores discrete (categorical) features as the distance between two orthogonal values is dubious. If you want distances to take in account the discrete features, you have to pass your data through Continuize widget first.
