For any data analysis project, we are following CRISP-DM (Cross-industry standard process for data mining) framework.

In this framework, data profiling is one of the key steps to start with the project.

In previous blogs of this series (Data Analysis in Power BI), we get an idea about the Power BI tool and how to import data in this tool using various data source connectivity.

In this blog, we are going to understand how to describe the data set after importing.

What is Data Profiling?

1. For any Data Analysis project, data profiling is the key step to understand the overall structure of the data.
2. Helps to describe the data consistency
3. For limitation in the data source, you can look for a better data source
4. Without Data Profiling, results will not be in a proper presentable format.
