How do I generate 10 unique random numbers between 1 and 100 that sum up to 100?

 

Example:

 

 

11

23

3

5

18

6

7

8

9

10

Hi @gnans19 

 

This is what I came up with:

basically it calls and number between 0-100 and then sums up and takes the % of the total to give a split between 0 - 100.

 

Let me know if this works.

Hi @paulfound and @nitinsnow  ,

 

Great solutions. I did a couple of runs. 

It seems like it isnt giving unique numbers each time. And is there a way to make it that it doesnt give me 0 as a number.

 

Cheers and Happy Analyzing : )

Hi @gnans19 @atcodedog05 

 

The workflow generates random numbers at each run (with the addition of 100), and now the numbers are always greater than 0.

 

I hope this helps, if yes, please accept it as a solution.

 

Thanks

Hi @nitinsnow ,

 

As per the requirement. The number needs to be unique. Its still not unique.

Getting a bit messy now, but updated to get 10 unique numbers that adds up to 100.

Just realised there is a chance that these won't be unique.

@atcodedog05 We are generating a random number here, At each run, the number change, so the column might have few duplicate values for a specific run.
