Hello, I am trying to load .idat files in ChAMP using champ.load(). However I get the following error:

Your pd file contains NO Array(Sentrix_Position) information.

Your pd file contains NO Slide(Sentrix_ID) information.

Error in champ.import(directory, arraytype = arraytype) :

Error Match between pd file and Green Channel IDAT file.

Here is my code:

library(ChAMP)
myLoad <- champ.load("my_dir")

I do have the 'Array' and 'Slide' columns in the samplesheet but it still gives me the error. Here is my samplesheet:

The error

Error Match between pd file and Green Channel IDAT file.

Is telling you that the green channel IDAT files don't match with what is in your pd file. You'll have to inspect the contents of your BaseName directory to see what the problem is.
