Is it possible to take a random sample (say 10,000 pieces) from a specific distribution (such as a normal distribution) and store it to a list in EG. Can't seem to find it in the menu!
Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by "list".

You can create pseudo-random numbers using the query builder task and store them in a data set. Go to computed column and select advanced expression. There are a host of functions for generating the random numbers.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you!

To clarify, by "list" I meant "column".
