Hi Vaibhav,

You can create random numbers using a function called RANDOM(). Even though the function is not shown within the functions in calculative field.

RANDOM() returns a decimal number from [0 - 1]. This function does not take any arguments/parameters.

To get a integer big number ,you can use one or more random function together and multiply with 10^4 or higher power.

For example.

Create random numbers using calculated field. ( I used 10^5 as multiplication number, you can choose even any number. To avoid duplicates i used 2 random() functions. )

After adding the field to the table .

Hope this helps you.
