BluiSh Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hello People! It´s good to be back to the forum I was looking around to see how can I random numbers from 1 to 20 in some fields and follow the classic random * ((maxnumber - minnumber)+1) and for sure I got the result the only problems is that I got a 0 (zero) and only need from 1 to 20 and for my surprise the formula is not giving me a 20 neither!!!!!!! How can I resolve this problem, maybe It must be very basic maths but.... any help would be very helpful Byeeee Sincerely BluiSh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Do you mean a random integer between 1 and 20 inclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comment Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Try + Int ( Random * 20 ) + 1 Note that the exact behavior of the Random function in some versions is not entirely clear. FileMaker,Inc. have posted various conflicting descriptions of the function regarding the possibility of Random returning either 0 or 1. This was fixed in the 10.0v3 update. In previous versions, there may be a VERY small probability of the calculation above returning 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
