When selecting an aggregation method only the options applicable for the type of variable will be displayed. An Invalid Symbol error will display when creating a custom template using an aggregation method that is not applicable for the type of variable.
Variable Type | Error | How to resolve |
|---|---|---|
Numeric | Invalid Symbols: %, for data type Numeric | % is not applicable/valid for an aggregation method of a numeric variable. Remove % from the Template. |
Categorical (Pick List, Radio Button) | Invalid Symbols: %, for data type PickList | % is valid for a categorical variable, however, a default custom attribute needs to be modified. Add the variable without using %, then modify the custom attributes. On the Row Update page, select the box for Group By Category and add % to the Template. |
