Random Sample Less Than 1

I wonder if there is a way to get random sample less than 1%? It's not first time I need it, could n't find any way to figure it out rather than adding additional filters. Are there any tricks?

UPD: Not ideal, but I added 1% to a list, than reference it in another smart list with random sample whatever I need.

Thanks,

Helen

Yes, 50% of 1% will give you 0.5%. But as Sanford points out, the risk is to get 0 as a result. It really depends on the DB sample.

When I need 5 or 10 leads for a test, I browse the database and pick a few manually.

I am trying to send 1 alert to someone, when an email is cast from an EP. I thought I could use random sample to send an alert to someone via 1 person or .25 %, for persons receiving an email from a nurture campaign.

Otherwise, I need to find an exact email being sent that cast, and add that one person in the flow step to send the alert.

@lsimon ,

can you explain a little more clearly what you're trying to achieve? I've read and re-read your comment, and can't quite fathom it (maybe I just need more coffee!)

Cheers
