This type of analysis provides simple statistics on the full records of the analyzed column set and not on the values within each column separately. For more information about simple statistic indicators, see [Simple statistics](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/simple-statistics).

With this analysis, you can use patterns to validate the full records against all patterns and have a single-bar result chart that shows the number of the rows that match "all" the patterns.
