Data profiling is the process of analyzing and exploring you data, to gain better insight and to understand if there are inconsistencies or otherwise troublesome entries in your data.
DataCleaner provides a rich set of data profiling features, including searching for patterns, displaying distributions and frequencies of values, counting and weighting factors, investigating character sets, and plotting timelines of periodic data entries. In addition there are a lot of "standard" metrics which give you the basis of judging whether your data is in a usable shape and where to watch out!
