Hi!

I am profiling tables and am looking at the profiles. I noticed that for date and datetime the profile does not show the MIN or MAX values. That is something I had expected though. Working on the data quality of this data, I really would like to know the MIN and MAX values for these attributes. Is there a way to change the configuration and include these profile statistics for these datatypes?

 

kind regards, Jur Dördregter

Hi ​@jdordregter ,

I can see that your data source is Hadoop, so it is indeed because of that.

Hi ​@jdordregter !

Thank you for your question! 

As you are correctly pointing out, numerical statistics are calculated only for numeric attributes.
However, you can have a look at the Quantiles - They display the values that occur at designated intervals in the ordered data set, with the first value on the list shown at 0% and the last value at 100%.
If your date type attributes have standardized format, like YYYY-MM-DD, it will work for you, as well. 

Hope this will help you!

Kind regards, 
Ekaterina

Hi ​@ekaterina.ponomareva,

I tried your solution, however it does not show the quantiles in my profiling, is this due to our version or the source used?

@ekaterina.ponomareva Good for you to know: in the backend this information is stored. Should not be rocket science to show this information also in web application.
