Splitting target lists into 10% random samples

Question

Hello all,I am in need of some help and am in a hurry.  We have a campaign going out tomorrow and my boss just said he wants to send it out to a random groups that are 10% of the original target list size.  So send to 10% on this day....wait for their instruction and send to the next 10% on which ever day they specify.  So how can I generate random sets of targets from the list into 1/10th of the original target size.  Essentially split the targets into tenths randomly but each tenth cannot contain the same targets as another tenth.Thanks!

Ultimately what you want to do is create 10 static lists that are comprised of a random 10% sample of your total list. First, create those 10 lists in your program. Then create a smart campaign to place the leads in those lists:

Smart List:

Member of Master List

Flow step: Add to List (9 choices + default):

Choice 1: If Random = 10, List Name: YourList1
Choice 2: If Random = 10, List Name: YourList2
Choice 3: If Random = 10, List Name: YourList3
...
Default: List Name: YourList10

Now you have 10 lists - comprised of equal random samples of your master list - that you will use during each of the requested email sends.
