\#Sheet Faker As it says on the tin, Sheet Faker allows you to efficiently create large CSV, ODS & XLSX files containing fake / test data.

Credit to the [Faker](https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker) package which is used to generate the data and [Box's Sprout](https://github.com/box/spout) to create the files.
