Error in Using Association Rule on SAS Enterprise Miner

Question

I just started using SAS EM. And I imported an excel file with three variables into SAS EM: Customerid, Item and Sequence. Sequence stands for the sequence of transaction in this person's shopping history).

I linked the file import node with association node. However after I ran the association node, it kept throwing out error messages like this: "Must have at least 1 transaction data set(s)". It's the same error message with market basket analysis node. Any suggestions?

One option will be to select in the Role: Value "Transaction" ,in purple bellow, from default Value Raw for input data, e.g. see screenshot bellow:

In your transaction node,

Set your product's role to TARGET

your unique ID as ID
