New Random Normal Distribution Creator

Hi Everyone,

 

I recently created a new macro and published it to the gallery. It's called "Create Random Normal". The macro will create a column with a size specified by the user, that is normally distributed with a mean and standard deviation designated by the user.

This would be the same as just using the R tool and using the code: rnorm(n, mean, sd). However, I figured to make life easier for non-R users that you could just use this macro and throw it into your workflows. This workflow requires that the user has access to the R Tool in Alteryx.

Let me know if you think the macro could improve at all!

Hi Tony,

 

Was looking for a replacement of the excel NORMSDIST fx and found yours. My results are however not tying to what excel computes. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Do you have a newer version out there? Can't locate it in the gallery.
