I'm doing a schema that includes 240 records with each record having a timestamp. How can I have the last record be the current time with each previous record 3 minutes apart? Can the date also be today, instead to selecting a actual date?

Hi @eddie_nunezt
Assuming you have the default row as id row number, then add a field of type formula and set the formula to be:
now().utc-minutes((240-id)*3)

@mp_np , thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't able to get it to work doing that; do you happen to have an example schema?

Hi @eddie_nunezt try https://www.mockaroo.com/f0f93f40 - I've set it to 100 so you can view it working in the preview, but just replace 100 with 240 in your example.

You need to scroll down to the bottom to check after you've run preview as you wanted the last to be now, and each previous 3 minutes earlier.

Hi @shiv

create Custom List with your status codes, named status
create hidden date field for each random date you want to generate, named _dategen
set entry date or expiry date as formula and enter the following formula:
case status when *['HB','ZZ'] then __date_gen else '' end

see example at https://www.mockaroo.com/14abaf70

Try

case status when 'T-3' then date('09/01/2014') when 'A-3' then date('03/08/2014') when 'B-2' then date('02/10/2014')end

@nhills
Use the .to_date function:

(now() +days(random(10,20))).to_date

see example:

Excellent, thanks, just what I needed

@mp_np , now I'm realizing why you mentioned "assuming you have default row as 'id row number'". It works well the way you used it, however, I'm working with a json object with an array that will include a UTC timestamp and value. I don't use "id" anywhere in my json formatting. Is there a way to do it in the "timestamp" for every item in my custom list as I have it here: https://mockaroo.com/schemas/109114 ?

Hi @eddie_nunezt. To share a schema, you need to use the Share link which is below the download and preview buttons. Schemas under your own login look like this: https://www.mockaroo.com/schemas/108856
and can't be accessed by others unless you share the project with them. Share links look like: https://www.mockaroo.com/f0f93f40

However, I have modified my example to use a hidden row number field. Simply use 2 x underscore (_) in front of a field name and that field is hidden from view in the mock data, though you can use it in formulae.

So the row number field becomes:
__id
Note, you could call this __row_number for clarity in your own project

and the formula becomes:
now().utc-minutes((100-__id)*3)
(replacing __id with __row_number if you change the name)
Here is an example that may work for you: https://www.mockaroo.com/492c9f30

Hello
Can you please show me how to use hours & minutes & seconds function
I need to extract these information from a date
Similar to year / month / day
Thx

Hi @jessejames3
Assuming your date field is called datetime (in my example I set this as a date wth SQL datetime as the type) then simply use:
datetime.hour
datetime.min
datetime.sec
respectively. An example is here: https://www.mockaroo.com/451045f0

bump. I am also interested

This site has users with simple image urls - https://randomuser.me/photos
by converting the gender to 'men' or 'women' and adding a random number generator from 1-99 I've got an image URL. You may need to experiment as the highest I found for men was 91, and the highest for women was 94.

https://www.mockaroo.com/b34a2f30

They also have lego 1-8

Alternatively if you can download the mock data from one of the other sites, you can add as a dataset.

Trying to figure out if I can concatenate a string and a GUID. Is there a way to use a guid in a formula?

Thanks,
Shay

How can I generate a template or function the returns a value like the sample below..

{"id":1,
"first_name":"Yanaton",
"last_name":"Kees",
"IsoDate": ISODate('2018-04-22T12:52:33.336Z')
}

NOTE: ISODate value not in quote.

Thanks!

How do I generate a JSON value like below

{
"id":1,
"name": {
"full_name" : "Kees, Yanaton", // Mockaroo generated value using function/formula
"first_name" : "Yanaton", // Mockaroo generated value using function/formula
"last_name":"Kees" // Mockaroo generated value using function/formula
}
}

Thanks!

My bad - there is a MongoDB ISO function

@mp_np , perhaps I'm not setting up my json arrays correctly? I have the parent object names "dataTypes" that only appears once, in that object I have a list that displays the value and timestamp. If you press "preview", this is exactly how I would like it to appear for the exception of the timestamp not doing what I would want it to do. Is there a way to add that formula using this schema I've created?

Hi @eddie_nunezt - as your rows are within the JSON array, you need the rownumber hidden field to be within the JSON array so it increments.

See modified example of yours: https://mockaroo.com/624399a0
