FAQPage Schema
What is dataset profiling and why do I need it before building reports?▼

Dataset profiling analyzes schemas, column types, null rates, and distributions to understand data foundations. It reveals structure, quality issues, and analytical opportunities, ensuring your reports and models are built on reliable, validated data.

How do I assess data quality and identify anomalies in a new dataset?▼

To assess data quality, evaluate datasets for inconsistencies, missing values, invalid formats, and outlier detection. This systematic quality assessment identifies potential accuracy issues and anomalies that could negatively affect your analysis.

What is the best way to perform schema discovery and relationship exploration on unfamiliar data?▼

The best way to explore unfamiliar data is applying systematic profiling methods for columns, metrics, and temporal fields. This schema analysis discovers key dimensions, correlations, and relationships, documenting analytical findings for future use.

Can I use data exploration methods for distribution analysis and cardinality checks?▼

Yes, data exploration supports distribution analysis and cardinality checks by generating statistical summaries. Profiling methods systematically evaluate columns to reveal data distributions and cardinality, uncovering analytical opportunities in new business datasets.

When should I not use automated dataset profiling for my analysis workflow?▼

Avoid automated dataset profiling when working with datasets lacking clear schemas or when immediate real-time processing is required. Profiling methods require systematic evaluation time to properly document analytical findings and assess quality issues.
