Really happy to have got this one done. I love the birthday paradox so when I first started using Alteryx and saw it as a challenge I opened it straight up. Didn't have a clue of course. So I'm happy now with my macro (even though running it 1000 times took absolutely ages!)

Tada! If there are 23 people and 1,000 trials, at least two people will have the same birthday ~ 50% of the time.

Am I really following up my own solution with a different solution? 😮

 

Went for an Alteryx route instead of using the Python tool.
