Hi everyone! I'm using qiime2 - 2022.2 and there's a Plugin error that made me stuck in this step. This is the command I've trying to run: ```auto qiime feature-table summarize \ --i-table Feature-taxon-genus-table.qza \ --o-visualization Feature-taxon-genus-table.qzv \ --m-sample-metadata-file Metadata.txt ``` The result: **Plugin error from feature-table:** \*\* The following IDs are not present in the metadata: 'BA1.17', 'BA2.23', 'BA2.8', 'BAR1.13', 'BAR3.13', 'BAR3.17', 'BAR3.24', 'BAR3.25', 'BAR3.3', 'DE2.17', 'DE2.20', 'DE2.21', 'DE2.26', 'DE2.33', 'DE2.4', 'DE2.8', 'ED2.10', 'ED2.17', 'ED2.20', 'POR1.12', 'POR1.21', 'POR1.23', 'POR2.15', 'POR2.26'\*\* **Debug info has been saved to /tmp/qiime2-q2cli-err-nulml1i6.log** I checked my metadata and my feature-table and I don't know where is the error. I also run the `qiime feature-table summarize` without the `m-sample-metadata-file Metadata.txt` and I've got the qzv file: [Feature-taxon-genus-table.qzv](https://forum.qiime2.org/uploads/short-url/gVHHer47dwIamAchn2f7NhfIMfc.qzv) (395.5 KB) I tried to convert my metadata, using Notepad ++, from Windows (CLRF) to Linux (LF) like other threads had indicated : [Error access Metadata Feature table](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/error-access-metadata-feature-table/14898) [feature-table IDs are not present in the metadata - #2 by colinbrislawn](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/feature-table-ids-are-not-present-in-the-metadata/14459/2) But the error is still happening Here are my Metadata : [Metadata.txt](https://forum.qiime2.org/uploads/short-url/A8ghPvESsSCpH2XJ1YxL0F1OORH.txt) (866 Bytes) Thanks in advance, João ---

Hi @joaomiranda, Thanks for reaching out and for providing all of those details! This is certainly interesting - it looks like every single ID within your metadata file isn't being recognized. I do wonder if it has something to do with the periods in your IDs (although we _should_ allow periods) - could you share your original .qza file so I can run this on my end and take a closer look? Thanks! 🦎 ---

Hi @lizgehret, sorry for the delay! Curiously, I restarted qiime 2022.4 and it works 🤔 I dont know what could happened, once my metadata and feature table looks like correct ---
