# Data profiling in the catalog
<a name="data-profiling-catalog"></a>

Use the **Data profile** tab on any catalog table to generate statistical summaries of your data without building a pipeline. Data profiling computes dataset-level and column-level statistics, giving you a quick understanding of your data's shape, completeness, and distribution patterns.

Data profiling in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is powered by AWS Glue Data Quality. For more information about the underlying profiling engine, see [Data quality analyzers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/dqdl-analyzers.html) in the AWS Glue documentation.
