# Date & number series — build columns, no upload

Build date calendars (daily, weekly, monthly), numeric sequences with a custom step, or random number columns — for charts, joins, and SQL practice. Everything is generated on your device.

Analysis often needs a scaffold column: a complete date spine so no day is missing from a chart, a numeric sequence for testing, or random values to prototype against. This generator builds those quickly.

A date calendar is especially useful to left-join sparse events onto so gaps show as zeros. Combine the output with the ID and Preset generators to assemble full test tables.

## How to

1. **Pick a series type.** Choose a date calendar, numeric sequence, or random numbers.
2. **Set the range.** Define start, end, step, or min/max as needed.
3. **Export.** Copy or download the generated column.

## FAQ

### Can I generate a continuous date range?

Yes. Produce a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar between two dates — handy as a spine to left-join sparse data onto.

### Can I make numeric sequences?

Yes — set a start, end, and step for a sequence, or generate random numbers within a min/max range.

### Is anything uploaded?

No. Series are generated in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.
