WHAT I S MISTAKE IN MY CODE.

Since you did not show your code or provide a link to the challenge, this is a bit of a guess. But since the message make the data seem correct, it's likely that you have the wrong number columns or they have the wrong name(s).
For instance, the challenge may have asked for separate columns but you joined them with concatenation (or vice versa). Or perhaps the challenge asked for a specific column alias that you may have omitted.
If these guessed hints don't lead you to a solution, please post your code and provide a link to the challenge for a complete and accurate analysis.

i wrote this , and still gets the same error message
