Get % sample of a table at random

Hi,

 

I need to filter my table so it only shows 15% of the lines in my table at random (sample round down). Thanks!

Hi @NumeroENAP 

Interesting request.  Try creating a new calculated table. It will get closer to 15% as the number of rows grows:

 

NewTable =
FILTER ( Table1, RAND () <= ( 15 / 100 ) )

 

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving kudos if posts are helpful.

In my case, I would prefer a measure, because I can only access to production data (in consultation only). So, I can't create a table. Also, this table is in relation with other dimension tables (ex : results).
