# Impute Missing Text Values

Einstein Discovery allows you to impute missing text values in your dataset. Enable imputation on a text variable, and Einstein Discovery automatically replaces missing values with data derived from another subset of your data.

### Required Editions

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.
