About this dataset
Three years of monthly figures, which is the minimum span where growth maths stops being trivial: month-over-month and year-over-year both have something to compare against, and a CAGR over the full period is a real number rather than an artefact of two data points. Costs move with revenue but not perfectly, so margins actually vary.
What you can practise with it
- Compute gross margin and operating margin per month
- Month-over-month and year-over-year growth percentages
- CAGR across the whole period
- A rolling 3-month average and a variance-to-budget column

Questions
Is this sample financial data free to use?
Yes — for practice, teaching, demos and commercial work alike. The rows are generated, so there is no personal data in the file. Attribution is not required; if you would like to credit it, there is a ready-made line at the bottom of this page.
Do I have to sign up or give an email address?
No. The file is built in your browser when you click download; nothing is uploaded and no account is involved.
Which formats can I download?
Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON. All three contain the same rows, so you can use the CSV for an import exercise and the .xlsx for a formula exercise.
Can I choose how many rows I get?
Yes. Pick a row count before downloading — the default is 36 rows, which is what the preview on this page is drawn from.
