Assign Random Number For Each Distinct Item

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I have a table with document numbers and $ amounts. Some document numbers have multiple amounts, so those numbers repeat within the table.&nbsp;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?&nbsp;Example Output:Rand()Doc Number$ Amount.9921100.992189.87622000.653341.6533200

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.&nbsp;
