# Templated Expectations VDA provides a growing repository of out-of-the-box expectations so that users can benefit without the need to create and define their own. These predefined criteria cover a wide range of standard data quality checks and are categorized at both the table and column levels. **Table-Level Expectations:** * Table Row Count to Equal * Table Row Count to be Between * Table Column Count to Equal * Table Column Count to be Between * Table Column Name to Exist * Table Column to Match Set * Table Custom SQL Test * Table Row Inserted Count to be Between * Expect table columns to match ordered list * Expect table row count to be between * Expect table row count to equal **Column-Level Expectations:** * **expect\_column\_max\_to\_be\_between**: Expect the column maximum to be between a minimum and a maximum value. * **expect\_column\_mean\_to\_be\_between**: Expect the column mean to be between a minimum and a maximum value (inclusive). * **expect\_column\_median\_to\_be\_between**: Expect the column median to be between a minimum and a maximum value. * **expect\_column\_min\_to\_be\_between**: Expect the column minimum to be between a minimum value and a maximum value. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_be\_in\_set**: Expect each column value to be in a given set. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_be\_in\_type\_list**: Expect a column to contain values from a specified type list. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_be\_null**: Expect the column values to be null. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_be\_of\_type**: Expect a column to contain values of a specified data type. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_be\_unique**: Expect each column value to be unique. * **expect\_column\_values\_to\_not\_be\_null**: Expect the column values to not be null. These templated expectations help streamline data quality assurance processes, ensuring users can quickly and effectively apply industry-standard checks to their data assets. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.vdalive.com/how-to-guides/data-quality/expectations/templated-expectations.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
