Getting an overview of your data
If you want to get more information about the data tables and columns in your analysis you can expand the Data panel to get an overview of the data or see details about a certain column. Here, you can also perform some data preparation and cleansing which can help getting visualizations the way you want them.

The data table view of the expanded Data panel gives you an overview of all columns in the selected data table. In this view, you can replace or delete the data table, edit the data table name, or, add rows or calculated columns to the data table. - Example: Source view
In the source view mode of the expanded Data panel, you can click on different nodes to see which operations have been performed on the original data to obtain the current data table.
