# Profiler Tab

The Data Observability tab is displayed only for Tables. It has three sub-tabs for **Table Profile, Column Profile, and Data Quality**. 

## Table Profile Tab

The table profile helps to monitor and understand the table structure. It displays the number of **rows and columns** in the table. You can view these details over a timeframe to understand how the table has been evolving. It displays the **profile sample** either as an absolute number or as a percentage of data. You also get details on the **size of the data** as well as when the table was created.

The Table Profile tab also displays timeseries graphs on **Data Volume, Table Updates, and Volume Change**. 

### Data Volume

The **Data Volume** chart gives an overview on how the data is evolving across a time period.

### Table Updates
In **Table Updates** chart, users can view the changes that happened in the table in terms of data inserts, updates, and deletes.

### Volume Change

In **Volume Change** chart, users can view the changes that happened in the table in terms of data volume for inserts, updates, and deletes.

## Column Profile Tab

The Column Profile tab provides a summary of table metrics similar to the Table Profile tab. It displays the number of **rows and columns** over a period of time. It displays the **profile sample** either as an absolute number or as a percentage of data. You also get details on the **size of the data** as well as when the table was created.

The column profile helps to monitor and understand the column structure with a summary of metrics for every column. You can view the type of each column, the value count, null value %, distinct value %, unique %, the tests run as well as the test status.

By clicking on any column, you can view more detailed reports about that column.

The Column Profile for a particular column also displays timeseries graphs on **Data Counts, Data Proportions, Data Range, Data Aggregate, Data Quartiles, and Data Distribution**. Based on the type of column you are viewing, you can verify the accuracy of the data values.

### Data Counts

The data counts chart provides information on the **Distinct Count, Null Count, Unique Count, and Values Count**.

### Data Proportions

The data proportions chart displays the **Distinct, Null, and Unique Proportions**.

### Data Range

The length of the string that are stored in the database is profiled. The data range displays the Minimum, Maximum, and Mean values, which can be helpful for users who are doing an NLP or Text analysis.
