Investigate Profiling Results¶
After a profiling run completes, use the Profiling Runs page to review column statistics and hygiene issues, and to take action on issues that need attention. For an overview of what profiling captures and why, see Data Profiling.
View profiling runs¶
- Select Profiling Runs from the menu.
- Optional. Use the Table Group filter to view runs for a specific table group.
Each profiling run shows the table group and schema, run timings and status, table and column counts, a summary of hygiene issues detected, and a data quality score.
Explore column statistics¶
Click View results on a profiling run to open the Data Profiling Results page.
- Use the Table Name and Column Name filters to narrow results.
- Select any column from the results list to see its content analysis, summary statistics, value distribution, and any hygiene issues detected for that column.
- Click Export to download an Excel report of all results, only the results matching your current filters, or only selected results.
For a hierarchical exploration of profiling data across table groups, tables, and columns, you can also use the Data Catalog.
Review hygiene issues¶
Click View N issues on a profiling run to open the Hygiene Issues page.
- Use the Issue Likelihood filter to focus on a specific likelihood level (Possible, Likely, or Definite).
- Select a hygiene issue to see the anomaly description and suggested action.
- Click Source Data to query your dataset for sample records that currently match the issue criteria. If the source data has changed since the profiling run, results may differ or may no longer be present.
- Click Issue Report to download a PDF report with a summary, sample data, and the SQL query for further manual investigation.
- Click Export to download an Excel report of all issues, only the issues matching your current filters, or only selected issues.
Note
Some hygiene issues span multiple tables. When the Table Name column displays (multi-table), select the record to see the affected tables in the detail panel.
Respond to hygiene issues¶
After reviewing a hygiene issue, you can assign an action to record your assessment:
- Confirm — Acknowledge that the issue is relevant and should be addressed.
- Dismiss — Mark that the issue is not relevant for this profiling run.
- Mute — Suppress this hygiene issue type for this column so the system does not flag it in future profiling runs.
Select a hygiene issue and click the appropriate action button. To remove a previously applied action, click Clear.
Update multiple issues at once¶
Click Multi-Select on the Hygiene Issues page, select the issues you want to update, then apply your choice.
