Data Anonymization for Google Sheets

To get help quickly on the forum, it's generally important to share a file with your request.

The utility available here allows you to convert the confidential data of a range of cells into anonymous data before sharing the document on the forum.

Select and copy the range of cells to be anonymized:

google sheets table selection data anonymization

Paste these data into the text area at the bottom of this page and click on the "Anonymize" button.

Then simply copy the new data:

textarea data anonymization

And paste them directly into your Google Sheets:
