The data profiling process provides a view on the registered data by means of bar charts and distribution charts.

Tip 
  • In some charts, you can zoom in by selecting the area of your preference. Click the Reset Zoom button to return to the original chart view.
  • The charts use the abbreviations K for thousand and M for million.
  • In the Columns section in a Table asset, you can open a column chart by clicking the chart icon in the Descriptive Statistics column. The chart opens in a dialog box.

The data distribution chart, or histogram, displays how data is distributed.
This chart is available if the data type is numerical or a date.


In this chart, you can receive extra information such as the mean, standard deviation and so on, by selecting the option at the right of the chart.
