RAND function how to randomly assign to groups
I'm trying to create a measure that will randomly assign people in my file to a treatment group or a control group if their score is above a threshold. I've found the RAND command will generate a random number so I was thinking I could do a two step to assign groups.

Consider using List.Random inside of Power Query. It will only update on the refresh of the dataset, not as users are working in the report. Here is an article that shows how to do that.
ahumke , Random function changes values with every load. You need to find a better way.
Maybe create a RANk and divide my max Rank +1

You can try this
Random Assignment = IF ( 'Tuesday, July 7, 2020'[Weighted Average Score] > 3, DIVIDE ( 'Tuesday, July 7, 2020'[Weighted Average Score], 100 ) * ( 2 - 1 ) + 1 )
