Data Profiling Made Easy
Analyze & Understand

Understand Your Data with Advanced Data Profiling

Before you can clean, match, or merge data, you need to understand it. Match Data Pro’s data profiling module gives you deep insights into the quality, structure, and consistency of your datasets—so you can take informed action. From missing values to formatting anomalies, we make invisible problems visible.

Common Data Quality Issues

Common data issues detected during data profiling include missing values, invalid formats, inconsistent data types, and duplicates. Identifying these problems early helps improve data cleansing and boosts the accuracy of any fuzzy matching process. A reliable data matching tool or data matching software starts with thorough profiling.

Benefits of Data Profiling Before Cleansing

Identify Duplicates​

1: Distinct rows can tell you quickly how much duplication you have in a column.

2: Histograms also make it easy to see the repetitive values contained in a column.

Ensure Data Consistency Before Cleansing

Easily Find Trends

1: Statistical profiling for numeric and string values.

2: Easily identify the minimum, maximum, mean, median, mode, and extreme values in each column.

Pattern & Format Detection

Uncover hidden patterns and non-standard formats in names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and more. Match Data Pro uses regex-based analysis and custom dictionaries to detect structured inconsistencies—like uppercase vs. lowercase, misplaced delimiters, or unusual word combinations—so you can standardize your data with confidence before running any data matching tool or cleansing operation.

Data Quality Scoring

Every dataset gets a data quality score based on completeness, consistency, uniqueness, and conformity. This score helps you quickly assess the overall health of your data and prioritize cleansing tasks. With Match Data Pro’s scoring system, you can track improvements over time and ensure better results from your fuzzy matching or data matching software.
