function Get-DbaRandomizedValue {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        This function will generate a random value for a specific data type or bogus type and subtype
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Generates a random value based on the assigned sql data type or bogus type with sub type.
        It supports a wide range of sql data types and an entire dictionary of various random values.
 
    .PARAMETER DataType
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
        Supported data types are bigint, bit, bool, char, date, datetime, datetime2, decimal, int, float, guid, money, numeric, nchar, ntext, nvarchar, real, smalldatetime, smallint, text, time, tinyint, uniqueidentifier, userdefineddatatype, varchar
 
    .PARAMETER RandomizerType
        Bogus type to use.
 
        Supported types are Address, Commerce, Company, Database, Date, Finance, Hacker, Hashids, Image, Internet, Lorem, Name, Person, Phone, Random, Rant, System
 
    .PARAMETER RandomizerSubType
        Subtype to use.
 
    .PARAMETER Min
        Minimum value used to generate certain lengths of values. Default is 0
 
    .PARAMETER Max
        Maximum value used to generate certain lengths of values. Default is 255
 
    .PARAMETER Precision
        Precision used for numeric sql data types like decimal, numeric, real and float
 
    .PARAMETER CharacterString
        The characters to use in string data. 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789' by default
 
    .PARAMETER Format
        Use specilized formatting with certain randomizer types like phone number.
 
    .PARAMETER Symbol
        Use a symbol in front of the value i.e. $100,12
 
    .PARAMETER Locale
        Set the local to enable certain settings in the masking. The default is 'en'
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

    .EXAMPLE
        Get-DbaRandomizedValue -DataType bit
 
        Will return either a 1 or 0
 
    .EXAMPLE
        Get-DbaRandomizedValue -DataType int
 
        Will generate a number between -2147483648 and 2147483647
 
    .EXAMPLE
        Get-DbaRandomizedValue -RandomizerSubType Zipcode
 
        Generates a random zipcode
 
    .EXAMPLE
        Get-DbaRandomizedValue -RandomizerSubType Zipcode -Format "#### ##"
 
        Generates a random zipcode like "1234 56"
 
    .EXAMPLE
        Get-DbaRandomizedValue -RandomizerSubType PhoneNumber -Format "(###) #######"
 
        Generates a random phonenumber like "(123) 4567890"
