Hi VANSHIKA,

welcome.

it might be good to add some more info on your "question". Now it only shows an error message which, without context, is rather meaningless.

What exactly are you stuck on? what are you trying to achieve? The "error" already gives you an indication what might go wrong, did you look into that?

It looks like RG lines are present, it just needs sample name in the line.
