Hi Everyone!

 

I saw a guy do this during a presentation, he drew a book through a flow in MS Power Automate, does anyone know how to do this?

I have an excel table with about 150 names and I need a way to draw 10 random names

    @Anonymous have a look at the Power Automate Cookbook where I posted a method for getting a random item from a SharePoint list. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Cookbook/Get-a-random-item-from-a-SharePoint-list/td-p/462817
