Dummy Data Source

prabhu0505 — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:28:30 GMT

Hi All,

I'm planning to develop a Qlikview document for a demo, so I need some realistic dummy data. Is there any in our portal or somewhere else?

Please share your thoughts..

Thanks & Regards,

Well it depends a little on the domain, if you want data that look realistic.

But check out e.g. Microsoft Northwind demo database, search the Net for a download.

Of course it does really depend on the type of thing you want to demo but I tend to use some generic data from a site like Gapminder.org which collates stats based on UN Country data over time eg: http://qvdesign.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/gapminder-org-replication-of-un-data-a-la-mr-hans-rosling/

Of course if you're after realistic retail data or call centre data or insurance data etc etc then there are a myriad of sources on the web.

Hope that helps,
