# describe_column

> **Describe column**

Describe one column of a table or worksheet, in the shape describe_table uses for every column: type, label, full description and, for enum and select columns, its values. For an AI enrichment column, `description` is the prompt that fills each row. Entity-reference columns (agents, agent groups) filter by id and do not list their values. Works on worksheets and customDataTables only.
