Bug Description

When adding items to an explorative factor analysis, there is an error message telling me that my variables do have too many missing values. But they don't and the analysis worked in the previous version of JASP with the same data.

Expected Behaviour

Items should have been used to the analysis without any problem.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Adding factorial items to an explorative factor analysis.

@NickUranos thanks for creating the issue. Sounds frustrating. If you share your zipped .jasp file or describe in more detail what is happening (screenshots, data, variables) I may be able to help.

[NickUranos]

Actually I can't send the data because they are case sensitive. For the moment I went back to the previous version since it works with that.

Okay. do you maybe have some information about the variables? Whats their scaling level? And do you have a screenshot of the error? If this is a serious bug it would be good to fix.

[NickUranos]

This is the screenshot, I re-installed v0.95 (OSX Apple Silicon). The variables are ordinal level and none of them has any missing value, contrary to the error message "Too many missing values...".

not sure whats going wrong, but in the past I have seen issues with reading in the data, and then the bottom of the dataset in JASP contains many empty rows. Can you check that?
