What does a red color code in the data quality bar indicate when using the Browse tool?

The red color code in the data quality bar when using the Browse tool indicates that there are values with leading or trailing whitespace. This color coding is part of Alteryx's data profiling features, which help users quickly assess the quality of their data. Leading or trailing white space can create issues in data processing, such as incorrect matches in joins or other operations where exact string comparisons are necessary. Identifying these problems visually through the red color code prompts users to address the whitespace before proceeding with data analysis or transformation tasks, ensuring cleaner and more accurate data.

This understanding highlights the importance of meticulously checking for data quality issues as they can significantly affect the integrity and usability of the output data.
