Viewing Summaries in Data Prep Studio
You can create any number of summaries for a selected table and you can view each one using the Summary drop-down.

In the Prepare window, select a table from which summaries were created and then click the Analyze from the Data Prep Studio toolbar.

Click the Summary drop-down and then select the summary you wish to view.

Hovering your mouse over the summary name selected in the Summary drop-down displays its description, if one has been defined for it.
Viewing an across-key summary
An across-key summary is one where a Columns field is defined. When viewing an across-key summary, you can choose to view one measure at a time or view all measures either by key or by measure. Across-key summaries are viewed the same way ordinary summaries are viewed. However, you must also select a measure to view using the Active Measure drop-down.
