I’m seeing ‘Site Sentiment’ in my Admin Dashboard for the past 2-3 months, but no sentiment is being shown.

I even tried running the same as an Sql Query thru [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin and changed dates to approx 2 years, still only blank result.

When I try run a ‘BackFill Task’ it gave the following error:

I took screenshot of almost 50% of the top area.

As shown in the ‘just-above’ post of mine that Back-Filling is failing, **can someone pls tell how many days/how many posts will it take for this ‘Sentiment Analysis’ to work or show something (i.e. wo backfill)**?

> I’ve searched ‘[Back-Fill-Failing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/encountering-error-in-sentiment-backfill-rake-task/297275/2)’ on meta, but no solution has been found anywhere.
