Error for geopsatial tools interpolation

[HelgaGomes]

Hi,

I have a network of sampling points in the East China Sea. I would like to use the Interpolation tool in Spatial Analyst Tools -

I added a base map GSHHS_i_L1 and then my data from an excel spread sheet .xlsx and got the sampling locations. Then i brought in my spatial Analyst Took Bos, selected Interpolation -> Kriging

But I keep getting the error that i have attached in my docx file. Oddly my colleague did the same and hers works fine. I used her file to try and see if it worked and it did not. I am really at loss here.

Thanks

Helga

Hi Steve,

I figured it out and am posting this to thank you as well as in case others have the same problem. I think something was off in my spreadsheet and its probably because it was originally made on Excel with Chinese characters. After many tries I copy pasted it on a new excel spreadsheet and it worked (after a few trials).But I did follow your Features-> Copy Features before I interpolated.

Thanks a lot.

Helga
