Randomize and grouping

Hello Community,

Question 1:
I have a random component with a value set to 300 for the number of values.
I have attempted to create a set but i am only getting 245 values out of it and not 300? can anyone help me understand why?

Question 2:
I am trying to create six groups of randomized “blocks” each with a different color, can anyone provide any guidance on the best way to achieve this. I am not sure if I am using the create set component correctly or if there is an even more efficient way of doing it?

I attempted this myself and I feel I am getting closer but its still not correct.
I culled (cull index) the randomized set with group 1.
I was then successful in randomizing another set (group 2) from the remaining parts, however, when I try to cull that set it seems to leave one behind (the one that is not highlighted in the image).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @FordEarl,

Not sure I fully understand what you’re trying to achieve here, but maybe this example helps.
If your goal is to simply create 6 randomized groups, you could use Repeat Data and Jitter components. You could create a different number of repetitions for each group.

The Create Set component extracts distinct values from a list, so if you have the same integer value repeating in the initial list, the Create Set output will be shorter. If you use fractional random values, you will get the same output.

Maybe this tutorial could also be helpful:
