Troubleshooting
Quick answer
Auto-run is off, or the column was added without running.
A required input or setting has no value (the panel footer warns).
The cell says Error: open it and read the message.
Nothing happens, or the cells stay empty
What you see: The column exists, but no row has run.
Why it happens: Auto-run is Off (the app says "New rows and values will not run on their own"), or you chose Add column without running.
What to do: Click a row's play button, or use the column header's Run column dialog. See Why didn't my column run?.
The footer says "Select a column for … before running"
What you see: A warning such as "Select a column for … before running." in the panel footer.
Why it happens: A required input or setting (marked with *) has no value. An input can be empty even when a suggestion names a column.
What to do: Click the input, press / and pick a column from the list. Do not close the list with Esc: a / or @ is then left in the field as plain text.
My cells say Skipped
What you see: Skipped in the cells.
Why it happens: Skipped means "Did not run because of filters or missing dependencies."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check that every input is mapped to a column, and look under Run Settings for Add run condition ("Only run if this formula resolves to true.").
My cells say Unsatisfied
What you see: Unsatisfied in the cells.
Why it happens: Unsatisfied means "Enrichment ran correctly, but output didn't match expected format."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check the input values in that row, and test one row before you re-run many. See What a cell's message means.
A cell says Error
What you see: The cell says Error, and the footer shows a count such as "1 cell failed".
Why it happens: Error means "Crashed, something went wrong." The message is in the cell it happened in.
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Fix the cause before you re-run.
The result did not change after I edited an input
What you see: A finished cell keeps its old result after you change an input.
Why it happens: With Auto-run on, Keep existing results is ticked: "Only errored, empty and new cells run. A completed answer is left alone even when one of its inputs changes."
What to do: Double-click the cell and click Re-run this cell, or click the play button on the column header and choose Overwrite all N rows in the Run column dialog. Read the line under each option first.
A Company profile cell says No company found
What you see: Some rows fill in and others say No company found.
Why it happens: Company profile returned no company for that row's input. Other rows in the same run can still return results.
What to do: A personal LinkedIn profile does not work there: the input takes a website, a domain or a LinkedIn company page. If the input is one of those, Loopster Data had no company for it.
What does it cost?
