Data exploration

The Data Explorer helps you inspect interim data samples at each stage of your pipeline. You can catch issues early and ensure your pipeline is working as expected by checking the column structure, reviewing the sample values, and confirming the data types.

Open the Data Explorer​

To use the Data Explorer, run your pipeline to generate data samples. Click on any data sample in your pipeline to open the Data Explorer.

Data sample in a pipeline

Leverage the Data Explorer​

In the Data Explorer, you can:

  • Sort data by columns
  • Filter rows by specific values
  • Search across all values
  • Show or hide columns
  • Export the sample as CSV or JSON file
  • Save the transformation as a new gem
  • View your data in a chart

View complete dataset​

The Data Explorer loads a sample of your data by default. When you sort, filter, or search, these actions apply only to the visible rows in the sample.

To work with the full dataset, do one of the following:

  • Click Load More at the bottom of the table until all rows are visible.
  • Click Run in the top-right corner of the preview. This refreshes the view and applies sorting and filtering to the entire dataset.

Create gems​

After analyzing the data, you can retain the filter and sort options in the pipeline by clicking on the Create Gems option. This action saves the applied filter and sort as a Filter and OrderBy gem in the pipeline.
