For everyone confused, the rule to remember is that Unique values are a subset of distinct values. So, every unique value is a distinct value but distinct values are not always unique.

69 and 4 are correct. The column has 69 distinct values, which includes all unique values (4) plus the empty values(nulls). There are 4 unique values in the column, those are non-null values that occur only once in the "State" column.

This Column Distribution feature allows you to get a sense for the overall distribution of values within a column in your data previews, including the count of distinct values (total number of different values found in a given column) and unique values (total number of values that only appear once in a given column). In other words, distinct values represent the total number of different values found in a given column, while unique values represent the total number of values that only appear once in a given column. Cheers!
