This image shows the header information for a data set displayed on the Explore page.

This summary includes:

The number of records in the data set sample. Or if this number is less than 1,000,000 this is the number of records in the full data set.
An option to switch between Precise mode and Approximate mode. This option displays only in data sets that are larger than the sample size. By default, this is 1,000,000 records. Precise mode provides a precise calculation for sum operations performed against the data sample. Approximate mode provides an approximation for sum operations across the full data set.
