About this dataset
What it models.
Categories and merchants pair sensibly (the merchant pool reads like a real T&E report), and amounts skew small with a long tail — like actual expense data.
About one row in eleven is pending or rejected, so status filters have something to show.
Good for: Spend-by-category dashboards · Approval-workflow demos · Testing currency-amount parsing.

Common questions
- ·
Why are amounts from a fixed set?
Amounts are drawn from a weighted list of realistic price points, which keeps the distribution believable (mostly small, a few big) and the files highly compressible.
- ·
What license is this under?
CC0 (public domain). Use it in tutorials, tests, courses, screenshots and products — no attribution required.
- ·
Is the data deterministic?
Yes — every size is generated from a fixed seed, so the same file is byte-identical for everyone, forever. Reproducible tests, stable teaching materials.
