About this dataset
The default file contains one row for each month from January 2023 through December 2025, in chronological order. Revenue, costs and headcount are generated independently; this is a practice table, not a financial forecast or a model where costs track revenue. Use the consecutive month rows for growth comparisons and moving averages, then state your elapsed-period assumptions when calculating CAGR.
The Excel download stores date columns as numeric Excel dates with a date format. CSV and JSON contain ISO date text; convert those fields to dates during import before using date arithmetic or grouping by month.
File layout and import notes
- Each row represents one consecutive month. The default 36 rows start on 1 January 2023 and end on 1 December 2025.
- Revenue, COGS and Operating Expense are independent synthetic amounts. Some months can show a loss; no budget column is included.
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; add your own budget to compare a variance

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. Direct links download the default-size files without JavaScript. The row-count control builds other supported sizes in your browser. Your spreadsheet contents are not uploaded and no account is involved.
Which formats can I download?
The original dataset is available as Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON. All three contain the same source 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. The browser control offers 25, 36, 100 data rows, plus a header. Direct source links contain 36 data rows; the preview shows the first ten of those rows.
