Notes:
Get specific with Analyze DataIf you do not have a question in mind, in addition to Natural Language, Analyze Data analyzes and provides high-level visual summaries, trends, and patterns. You can save time and get a more focused analysis by selecting only the fields you want to see. When you choose fields and how to summarize them, Analyze Data excludes other available data - speeding up the process and presenting fewer, more targeted suggestions. For example, you might only want to see the sum of sales by year. Or you could ask Analyze Data to display average sales by year. Select Which fields interest you the most?
Select the fields and how to summarize their data.
Analyze Data offers fewer, more targeted suggestions.
Note: The Not a value option in the field list refers to fields that are not normally summed or averaged. For example, you wouldn't sum the years displayed, but you might sum the values of the years displayed. If used with another field that is summed or averaged, Not a value works like a row label, but if used by itself, Not a value counts unique values of the selected field.
