random: how to force unique results?

Hi guys!

I was trying to do a random selection of a fixed number of non-repeatable elements in a list. I mean that every randomly chosen element must be unique.

In the screenshot attached you'll see how I was genereting the list that I would use as list of indexes for the list of elements...

But there is often (and obviously...) at least one index repeated.

Any idea?

Thanks so much,

Filippo

It's typically a better idea to generate a non-random list of unique values (that is easy after all) and then randomize it. Either use RandomReduce if you have too many values and you can use Jitter to randomize the order of the values.

Hi Filippo,

Try using Jitter component.
