About exploring a data set

Explore allows you to explore the structure and data values in a data set.


Explore text is highlighted

Using Explore, you can find out:
  • What attributes are available
  • The types of values for those attributes
  • The distribution of those values across the data set
  • The quality of the values – in particular, whether values are missing
  • How attributes correlate to each other

After exploring a data set, you should have a better idea of the visualizations you may want to use to show the data values and relationships, and the transformations that you may want to apply.
