Creating Quick Profiles Summary
In this lesson, you learned that a quick profile shows profile results without configuring all columns and row sampling options for a profile. You learned that you create and run a quick profile to analyze the quality of the data when you start a data quality project. You also learned that the Analyst tool performs profiling on the staged flat file for the flat file data object.
You created a quick profile and analyzed the profile results. You got more information about the columns in the profile, including null values and datatypes. You also used the column values and patterns to identify data quality issues.
After you analyze the results of a quick profile, you can complete the following tasks:
- •Create a custom profile to exclude columns from the profile and only include the columns you are interested in.
- •Create an expression rule to create virtual columns and profile them.
- •Create a reference table to include valid values for a column.
