Hello -

I have a report that has multiple products(in one column 'products') with unique rows of sale data (980 rows (variable). Each product has a status column displaying either "sold" or "inventory".

The goal: based on product and status - randomly select 10% of rows for each product/status grouping and flag the selected row. See data below (reduced for simplicity): Select 10% is the column that identifies randomly selected cells.

Thanks for any assistance you can give.
