Prerequisites
To view data profiles, you need to:- Work on a PySpark project.
- Upgrade the ProphecyLibsPython dependency 1.9.40 or later.

Quick profile
The Data Explorer includes data profiles that are generated on your sample data. You’ll be able to see high-level statistics for each column, including:- Percent of non-blank values: The percentage of values in the column that are not blank.
- Percent of null values: The percentage of values in the column that are null.
- Percent of blank values: The percentage of values in the column that are blank.
- Most common values: Displays the top four most frequent values in the column, along with the percentage of occurrences for each.
