How to Generate Bulk Test Data for SharePoint Lists Using ChatGPT

In today’s tutorial from KeaPoint, we demonstrate how to easily generate bulk test data for your SharePoint lists using ChatGPT. This method is ideal for creating sample data quickly and efficiently, especially when dealing with extensive datasets.

We showcase the example of an issue tracker list in SharePoint, where columns include issue, issue description, priority, status, assigned to, and date reported. The key challenge is to generate 100 new records with realistic data while ensuring the values for priority, status, and assigned to remain consistent with the existing data. By exporting the current list to a CSV file, we establish a template for ChatGPT to follow.

Using ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities, particularly with the paid version, we can upload this CSV template and instruct the AI to generate unique, relevant issue descriptions and associated data fields. This approach ensures the generated data is both useful and meaningful, suitable for testing and demonstration purposes within your SharePoint environment.

This video provides a detailed, step-by-step process to streamline data creation, saving valuable time and ensuring consistency. Don’t miss out on this efficient method to enhance your SharePoint testing and development workflows. For more information on SharePoint visit our technology page.
