Hi,
I'm trying to create a GTEx-like barChart and boxplot in UCSC Genome Browser for my data. I followed the instructions on the UCSC help page. The trackhub loads without an error. I can see the barChart in the browser. However, if I click on the barChart, I'm not getting the boxplot. Instead I get an error that says Error creating boxplot from sample data. I dont know what the error is. Can someone help me with this? I'm posting the header of my matrix and category text files.

I emailed this issue to UCSC and I heard back from them almost immediately. It was a very silly error. I'm posting this here just in case someone has a similar error

barChartUnit has 2 words "Normalized UMI". Making it a single word "Normalized_UMI" fixed the issue
