Profiling Data Summary
In this lesson, you learned that a profile provides information about the content and structure of the data.
You learned that you can perform a join analysis on two data objects and view the degree of overlap between the data objects. You also learned that you can run a column profile on a data object and view values, patterns, and statistics that relate to each column in the data object.
You created the JoinAnalysis profile to determine whether data from the Boston_Customers data object can merge with the data in the LA_Customers data object. You viewed the results of this profile and determined that all values in the CustomerID column are unique and that you can merge the data objects successfully.
You created the All_Customers profile and ran a column profile on the All_Customers data object. You viewed the results of this profile to discover values, patterns, and statistics for columns in the All_Customers data object. Finally, you ran the Data Viewer to view rows containing values and patterns that you selected, enabling you to verify the quality of the data.
