Uniques vs Unique Values: Basic Data Profile vs Field Summary

Should there be a difference between the 2? The reason for asking is in comparing a string field:

  • Basic Data Profile has 95 Uniques
  • Field Summary has 105 Unique Values
  • Unique Tool shows 105 unique rows

Basic Data Profile is also turned up to the max on Exact count and size limit.

This gets a whole lot more interesting if they are totally nondescript. I keep going for the "there is a logical explanation for this" but I think in the end maybe it's just one of those things...

Yeah, it may just be a random anomaly for this instance as I’m unable to replicate it.  The unique values on the basic data profile tool keep matching to what I see on the Browse, Field summary, Summary and Unique tools in other data sets.

 

Very odd though.
