You can determine minimum, maximum, and quantile values for an individual BigQuery column. To calculate these values, you configure a DlpJob, setting the NumericalStatsConfig privacy metric to the name of the column to scan. When you run the job, Cloud DLP computes statistics for the given column, returning its results in the NumericalStatsResult object.
