Please help - can't import Excel sheet in RM 5.3.13

akarpun

I got strange issue with Rapidminer 5.3.0.13 - after creating new local repository, I click ob Import Excel sheet and nothing happend.
Funny enough - on same computer, Rapidminer 5.2.008 is doing without any problems.

Maybe someone solved this mystery ?

I'm on MacOSX 10.6.8, Java ver. 1.6.0_51 from Apple

Thank You in advance

Is process different between 5.2 and 5.3 ? I'm quite new to RapidMiner and was about to start learning how to use it, but ...
I do it like this:
After Splash screen, I select New Process,
than In left corner, I choose my local repository,
create folder there
click on it
than click on button with green arrow above and choose Import Excel sheet - and nothing happened.

If I continue to go through options from this drop-down menu - only last 3 things invoke dialogs for import: Access DB Table, Database Table, Binary File
First 3 is not work at all

Please help

Hi,

I just learned you do need Java 7 for the latest RapidMiner versions. If you do not have access to Java 7, you will need to use RM 5.3.008 I'm afraid, or update your OS Lion.

Thank You for Your help.
Yes, indeed, RapidMiner 5.2.008 working ok with my version of Java.
