When to use Data Profiler

Choose Data Profiler when:

  • you are seeing a dataset for the first time
  • you want a high-level quality picture before cleaning or validating
  • you need evidence about where problems are concentrated

Good fits​

Data Profiler is a strong fit for repeatable business rules that should be applied the same way each time similar data arrives.

Start small first​

For a first Run, test the workflow with a small sample File. This helps confirm that the result matches the intended business outcome before you scale up.

When to use a different Tool​

When you already know the exact transformation you need to perform, another Tool may be more direct.

You can also use Choose the right Tool if you are deciding between Tools.
