While profiling a Customers table in Power Query Editor, you need to verify that the EmailAddress column contains no duplicates before designating it as a key. You want a quick visual that shows, directly beneath every column header, the total count of distinct values and how many of those are unique (appear only once). Which data-profiling view should you enable from the View ribbon to obtain this information?
Enable Column quality; it highlights valid, error, and empty percentages only.
Enable Column distribution; it displays Distinct and Unique counts beneath each column.
Enable Column profile; it shows detailed statistics but only for the column you select.
Turn on the Data preview (top 1,000 rows) option; it automatically pivots each distinct value into a new column.
Column distribution is the only data-profiling view that surfaces both the Distinct and Unique counts directly under each column header, letting you instantly spot columns with duplicate or null values. Column quality only shows percentages of valid, error, and empty rows; it does not reveal distinct or unique counts. Column profile does include those counts but only after you select one column at a time, so it is less efficient for scanning all columns simultaneously. The Data preview (top 1,000 rows) switch merely changes the sampling range and does not add any new profiling metrics.
