Browse tool question

[Wojtek_Dz]

Hi, 

during checking the completeness of my data set I noticed one strange thing.

When I click on Browse Tool to check the details of my columns I noticed the different info between values which are presented.
E.g. when I place my mouse on column AUGDT I get info that there is 2 300 752 records, 11.15% Nulls and 88.85% OK, but when I click on this column I get in profile window info that there is 256 641 records and 100% are Null's.

Could someone explain why I get different values ?

Thanks !

Hey @Wojtek_Dz,

I would have thought you have reached the 300 MB cap for the browse tool. Browse Tool | Alteryx Help. Thats why it says 256 641 records not 2 300 752. It may just have happened that the first 256 641 that the brows tool read are all NULL in that column. If you want to see more of that column drop the other 100+ columns before using the browse tool that will give you enough space in memory to view the entire column.
