Column Statistics Profile Request Options (Data Profiling Task)

Use the Request Properties pane of the Profile Requests page to set the options for the Column Statistics Profile Request selected in the requests pane. A Column Statistics profile reports statistics such as minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation for numeric columns, and minimum and maximum for datetime columns. This profile can help you identify problems in your data such as invalid dates. For example, you profile a column of historical dates and discover a maximum date that is in the future.

Note

The options described in this topic appear on the Profile Requests page of the Data Profiling Task Editor. For more information about this page of the editor, see Data Profiling Task Editor (Profile Requests Page).
