Quick attribute analysis

Hi community,

What is the best node(s) to use if I want to get a quick overview of a data attribute (distinct, min, max, mode etc.)? Is there some sort of attribute statistics node perhaps?

Thanks for your help.

You can use the Data Explorer (JavaScript) node for this, which is currently in the KNIME Labs extension.

Hi @ScottF, I found the Data Explorer Node now and this works perfect. Just a quick question if you know, the date attributes are not presented insights for (for example a min and max date). Why is this?

Not all nodes have support for DateTime data types, as you’ve noticed. I suspect this may have something to do with the rework of DateTime support in KNIME 3.4, but another KNIMEr may be more knowledgeable on this point that I am.
