When a user has a question and needs to post a table in Excel containing data it is inadvisable to post private and/or sensitive data.
I have personally used the functionality (free) that is offered at https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to generate a large amount of data.
There are many options to generate any amount of data for all purposes; professions, specific country related.
Hope this tip helps.

good to know thanks
Danish is working with It Training Centers.
I have an alternative data generator here: https://excel.solutions/generatedata (powered by generatedata.com)
let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source
If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE
Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
Looks good too, well, my idea was mainly to point out that you can generate fake data for sample files and you can go as deep as you want.
Looks real, feels real and it's fake, what more do you want
Great, thanx for sharing!
Great tool. Thank you for sharing!
I prefer this one

Hi @sandy666,
Nice site, works fast
Hi Keebellah,
unfortunately older version was much better but maybe I'm old fashioned
I'll stick to the one I used before that because the generatde fake names are realistic for the region and languag you select but for a quick-and-dirty this one works great
I would like to find a website that generates 10 thousands or more records but no luck
however 500 rows is better than nothing
The site I first posted is less limited try and see
And like I mentioned it’s more realistic
it doesn't matter if it's realistic or not, it's usually for testing or an example for someone else, however an email (which can't be fake) is required to get the max number of records (100000) so I'm sticking with my generator.
if it generated an account number and a pin/password for it that could be used in the real world then this would be much more useful
everyone has their preferences
Clear
Have a happy new year 🎆
