List.Random

Returns a list of random numbers.

Syntax​

List.Random(
    count as number,
    optional seed as number

Remarks​

Returns a list of random numbers between 0 and 1, given the number of values to generate and an optional seed value.

  • count: The number of random values to generate.
  • seed: [Optional] A numeric value used to seed the random number generator. If omitted a unique list of random numbers is generated each time you call the function. If you specify the seed value with a number every call to the function generates the same list of random numbers.
