What Randomize TSV Values can do:

Randomize TSV Values lets you quickly scramble tab-separated data to break row order or value alignment for testing, anonymization, or demo purposes. You can shuffle entire rows for a quick reordering, or go further by randomizing each column independently completely mixing up the data relationships while keeping the structure intact.

It’s a useful tool when you need to anonymize datasets, generate randomized training inputs, or simply verify that your system doesn’t depend on row order. The interface updates live and lets you control how the randomization works.

Example:

Input:

name	age	city
Alice	30	NY
Bob	25	LA
Charlie	40	TX
Dana	22	SF

Options:

  • Preserve header: ON
  • Shuffle each column separately: ON

Output (example):

name	age	city
Charlie	22	LA
Bob	40	NY
Dana	30	TX
Alice	25	SF

Common Use Cases:

Use it to randomize TSV data for testing import tools, scrambling rows before public sharing, breaking predictable patterns in training sets, or simulating dirty input. Whether you need shuffled rows or chaotic columns, this tool gives you full control with instant results.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Once you’ve run Randomize TSV Values, try Display TSV Statistics to see how the distribution looks post-shuffle. And if you want to lock in the structure first, Trim TSV Columns helps clean things up before you start mixing values.
