Happy testing! I love using the new Excel Python Editor to generate moc data via faker library

Hi, i`m an old-school software tester, and i know that Generative AI (chatbots) can help me with requests to the faker library for generating test/moc data records.

Currently, I use the new Excel Version 2408 (Build 17911.20000 in the M365 Insider Beta Channel) plus Copilot Pro python script support.

I generate test/mock data with the open-source Faker library, and I like it.
