Hey @dad, That is strange. Could you provide the log file with the debug info? I wonder if that error isn't related to your distance matrix (or is happening as a result of filtering). Do your metadata IDs definitely match what you have in your screenshot? ---

Oh my god ！I have found my fault. Because of the metadata.tsv ![360%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE20180408101623](https://forum-qiime2-org.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/b/b8a2c20f43be3712e9329e94b3907fb01b5f9dd1.jpg) everybody who can find out that the real identification mark is "description" . I found it in my local directory when I convert metadata.tsv to metadata.xls metadata.tsv .I am so sorry for my mistakes. ---

No worries! Glad you worked it out 😃 Semi-related, are those first few samples supposed to be missing all of that data, or is your terminal just treating the tab-character very strangely in your screenshot? ---
