Shuffle Column

You can shuffle a column by loading the values in, shuffling them, and writing them back to the table. Here it is shuffled by a column formula, and by a button.

Shuffled by Formula

[Shuffle Time!].Fruit.ShuffleText()
.WithName(
ShuffledList,
ShuffledList.Nth(
thisRow.RowId()
)
)
Get the Shuffle Time table’s Fruit column
Shuffle the values in that list
Store that under the name ShuffledList for now, using
WithName()
⁠
⁠
Go through that ShuffledList, and grab one of the values with
Nth()
⁠
. Which value? Whatever row we’re on (so if we’re on row 5, thisRow.RowId() will be 5, and we’ll grab the 5th value from the shuffled list)

Shuffled by Button

[Shuffle Time!].Fruit
.ShuffleText(Now())
.WithName(
ShuffledList,
[Shuffle Time!].FormulaMap(
ModifyRows(
CurrentValue,
[Shuffled by Button],
ShuffledList.Nth(
CurrentValue.RowId()
)
)
)
)
Get the Shuffle Time table’s Fruit column
Shuffle the values in that list, with a seed of Now() (so it’s different every time we press the button)
Store that under the name ShuffledList for now, using
WithName()
⁠
⁠
Go through every row in the Shuffle Time table, and do the following to each... (
FormulaMap()
⁠
)
Modify the current row we’re on
Modify the Shuffled by Button column
Go through that ShuffledList, and grab one of the values with
Nth()
⁠
. Which value? Whatever row we’re on (so if we’re on row 5, thisRow.RowId() will be 5, and we’ll grab the 5th value from the shuffled list)
