Teşekkürler, harika bir anlatım, çok fazla işime yarayacak.

Glad you liked it and it helps! :)

I understood how the formula works, but I still have some doubts about certain parts. 1. Random will generate any number between 0 and 1. 2. That's why we have the Floor function, which is used to round the number. 3. The value MAX - MIN ensures that the result is never greater than my list. 4. The "+1" after the Floor ensures that my result is never "0." Now, here's my question: What is the purpose of the "+1" after the MIN value? Because when I tested it without it, I still got results within the correct range from MIN to MAX value. Thanks for the great video. I hope you can help me clear up this doubt that is keeping me awake haha.

[@TechflowAI]

Great question, and apologies for my (very late) reply! *TL;DR:* This is to make sure that the MAX value is included in the potential outputs. Because random can be 0 but never quite hits 1, the multiplication would fall short of MAX. Adding 1 corrects for this. [Random = Random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive)] Let's say, your *MAX* value is 2 and your *MIN* is 0. The floor would look like this: floor( random * (2 - 0 + 1)) floor( random * (3)) Let's say the random number would be 0.999, it would be floor(0.999 * 3) = floor(2.997) >> 2 If we would leave out the +1 it would be: floor(0.999 * 2) = floor(1.998) >> 1 Therefore, the random number can never reach our *MAX* value.

Thank you very much for your response; it made a lot of sense. I confess I hadn't reached this conclusion yet. I'm very grateful for the tutorial you provided; I've been using this formula in almost all the automations I've been working on for the past few months. The great thing is that being a mathematical formula, I also use it extensively with spreadsheets. In any case, thank you for your attention and for taking the time to respond to me.

Hi! How to make Random (10-50) ?

[@TechflowAI]

That's a good question! Check out the formula at Minute 1:24 of this video and replace MAX with 50 and both MIN variables with 10. That way you'll get a random number between (incl.) the numbers you define. Let me know if that helps! 😊

[@iBotoved]

@@TechflowAI Wow! It worked! Thanks 👍

[@TechflowAI]

Awesome! 😊 You're welcome and glad it worked.

Hi. Is it possible to make it so that a random number is generated from 1 to 10? But at the same time, all the numbers from 1 to 10 would definitely fall out for 10 runs of the scenario.

[@TechflowAI]

That's an interesting approach. You can achieve this by using a data store for example. Every time a number is picked, you delete that entry or update a column that it's "Picked". Then add another data store or global variable that contains the "total amount of numbers left". The next time you run it, get the "total amount of numbers left" value first, then "search records" of your data store. Then generate your random number with "total amount of numbers left" as your max. After that, put a filter after your "Search Records" and let only the bundle pass where "bundle order position" = "random number". Does that help?

[@erikzolotnikov366]

@@TechflowAI Thank you! I took a slightly different approach. That look like: - round(random=10) -> Then storing that value inside a gSheet -> Then outputting it to wherever I want On Run #2, there would need to be an added "Checking" step to see if the number randomly generated this time, matches the number previously generated.

[@TechflowAI]

Interesting. And what if it has been generated already? Keep repeating the process trying to find a random that hasn't been used before?

[@erikzolotnikov366]

@@TechflowAI Yes it is

[@TechflowAI]

My only concern is, this can consume A LOT of operations until it finds a random number that's hasn't been used before. My approach was to pick a random number only among the ones that are still not used before so there is no need for repeating it until you found something. But both options work obviously. Like always, there are multiple ways of solving something.
