Sorry I haven't made it clear. I was using enterprise miner and imported data. And i saw some variables were labeled as "rejected" but didn't know why

What options did you use when importing data? How did you import the data? Any other steps run?

Are ALL values for the variable "rejected" or only some? If all, what type of variable? If only some, what specific values were rejected?

Did the log anything interesting when importing?

If you are using the Advanced advisor in your Input Data node, then variables are rejected if they have excessive missing values (>50% by default) and excessive class values (>20 by default). You can turn off the setting of variables to rejected or you can change the cutoffs used in the Advanced Options property of the Input Data node when you select Advanced for the Advisor property or you can customize the Advanced options when going through the Data Source Wizard (step 4).
