Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 80 rows came out of a blueprint — 17 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 row represents one remote employee’s monthly work activity
  • Includes estimated CO2 emissions for home office energy consumption and commuting (if occasional)
  • Tracks use of company-provided devices and cloud resources
  • Flags employees participating in sustainability initiatives
  • Supports calculation of team-wide and per-employee average emissions
