Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 25 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each meter assigned unique customer ID
  • Faults categorized by urgency
  • Diagnosis time to resolution tracked
  • Weather events correlated with faults
