Bugging creation of report

[machtom1]

Current Behaviour

Hi,
right now when I create a report, some columns are labeled as numeric values and not as expected labeled as categorical values. When I create the report without casting the columns, the creation of the report takes only less than one minute. Now after casting the columns as string values, the report takes forever and I had to stop executing it after waiting for more then 30 mins. It begins to stuck at columns B and F (have a look at the columns description in 'Data Description'). I tried the casting of the datatype in the read_csv and with .astype(string), which is also shown in the code-section.

Expected Behaviour

I expect the report to show the correct numerical and categorical values

Data Description

The data is a mix of date values and categorical values. Here is a chart of the missing values and the datatypes, before and after after casting them:
Missing values dtype
A 0 Date
B 0 Date
C 3 object
D 0 object
E 0 object
F 0 object
G 86317 object
H 39 date
I 6871 object
J 0 object

Code that reproduces the bug

#Way one:
df_data = pd.read_csv('example.csv', parse_dates=['A', 'B'], dtype={
    'C' : 'string',
    'D' : 'string',
    'E' : 'string'
}
)
#Way two: 
df_data = pd.read_csv('example.csv')
df_data['C'] = df_data['A'].astype(str)
df_data['D'] = df_data['A'].astype(str)
df_data['E'] = df_data['A'].astype(str)

#And then: 
profile = ProfileReport(df_data)
