Hello,
I have a table with document numbers and $ amounts. Some document numbers have multiple amounts, so those numbers repeat within the table.
I'd like to assign random numbers to each distinct document number. Is there a way to do a FOREACH() type formula that will assign the RAND() function to each distinct value in my document number column?
Example Output:
| Rand() | Doc Number | $ Amount |
| .992 | 1 | 100 |
| .992 | 1 | 89 |
| .876 | 2 | 2000 |
| .653 | 3 | 41 |
| .653 | 3 | 200 |

I think my solution is to pull in the document numbers into a separate table, remove duplicates, assign random numbers, and then create a relationship between the distinct table and the table with duplicates. Still open to other ideas if someone has a better solution.
