In the Column Details panel, you can quickly discover patterns in your dataset. The Pattern profiler allows you to see the most common patterns and anomalous patterns of data in a column across the sample. Using these patterns, you can gather detailed information about the consistency of data in the selected column. As always, you can also select the patterns to have Trifacta prompt you with suggested transformations to apply to the data.
