Scientific mode
To perform scientific computing and data visualization, select the Python project type in the New Project wizard.
When choosing the Python project type, you need to ensure that you have conda installed. Once this is done, all you need is to specify the project name.
Note that to work with Matplotlib, NumPy, Plotly, or pandas, you need to install these packages on your Python interpreter.

View column statistics
By default, column statistics are turned off.
To change the default mode to Compact or Detailed, navigate to .
The Compact mode includes only Missing and Count statistics:
For numeric data, histograms are plotted and shown together with statistics. Hover over the histogram to view detailed information about each bar.
To view detailed column statistics, do one of the following:
Hover over a column name. A popup with column statistics appears.
Click
Show Column Statistics and select Detailed.The detailed statistics are shown above the columns.
