Trouble Training Predictive Model. Stuck in "preparing training data"

[andrew_caff]

Update that after a few days it has moved on to "Training your custom predictive models - 0 completed, 0 training..." but is still stuck there for hours on end. Sounds like it is just a slow process that may complete itself eventually...

Anyone here have success training predictive models. I have been trying to train a model with 5 columns and 500 data entries. Each of the 4 columns is type decimal with one corresponding ID column. I have ensured that there are no errors in the data as well. 

The model simply won't train. I have tried on 4 different days and it is stuck preparing the data for several hours with no success. Is my dataset too large? Is there something I could be doing wrong? Is this defunct/has anyone actually had luck using this feature?

Did you resolve this?

It seems like some time over the thanksgiving break it trained itself with a training time of a few weeks? 

Further digging shows that there was a bug that needed to be resolved. It should be fixed now for anyone training models.
