Select three random items from a SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi there, I have a flow which currently takes values from two lists and based on certain criteria, then adds items to a separate SharePoint list. I then want to be able to select three of the items in the newly updated list. I have found lots of articles around selecting one item but I need to select three.

Ultimately the three selected items are users and an email will be sent to them...

Can anyone help me?

    Hi @NeilCIT ,

     

    So what's your criteria to select the three items?

    For example, you can select three items based on their similar parameters in "Filter Query", or you can fill "Top count" with 3 to get the top 3 items:

    Hi @v-wenjuan-msft 

    So the new list literally just contains names (M365 Display names), and I just need to pick 3 randomly. When it says 'top count' does it mean the first three in the list? I need a fully random selector...
