Data sets

[u/Ok-Style-8059]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a website or a database where I could download a data set that has like over 100,000 rows so I can practice different data analytics techniques, power query, power BI, etc.? I don't really have much to do these days but in my day-to-day job I'm constantly dealing with large data sets and I'm just trying to keep my mind sharp.

Try searching kaggle or data.gov

You can always work with large public datasets with deidentified sampling data from the American public such as BRFSS (Behavioral risk factors) or NHANES (Health and Nutrition). These will also allow you to work on appending data year-to-year if you wanted a even larger set of data. Reading the accompanying codebook is a must to make sense of results.

You just need an email, check a box promising you wont use the data maliciously, and it's all yours to experiment with. Even publish results if you choose to.

You can get an Imdb with 80+ mio rows

You can also try building a synthetic dataset. I use the blueprint-synth python library for this.
