Error: Output field 'XXXX' is incomplete

I have a basic SPSS Modeller flow ...

When I try to run the 'Value Bin' node I get the error:

Error: Output field 'Value Bin' is incomplete

Value Bin is defined as this:

I shouldn't have any missing values:

What does this error message actually mean?

Sorry for all the screenshots.

Update

I updated the Derive node to a binning node and still the same issue:

Solution

  • In your Derive node, under Measurement, you need to change Range to Set.

    By definition the field is Nominal so to declare it also as a Range, i.e. Continuous, confuses things. I'm not sure why the node even gives you that option but maybe it makes sense somewhere.

    The error 'Output field X is incomplete' means that the type of X is not fully specified, and in this case it's because it can't make sense of something that is both nominal and continuous.
