Using Power Automate to Create a Random Picker

For this video, Jonathon tackles the age-old question, “What should we eat for dinner tonight?”.  Instead of making the tough decision, he utilizes Power Automate to do it for him by creating a flow that makes a random selection from a list of options.  Watch along to see how easy it is to get the flow up and running using the RAND expression, along with the Parse JSON data operation for Power Automate.

Thanks for the video, how is to use SharePoint list instead of excel ? i tried "Get Items" but the @odata output everything including name, department, version etc...

Thank you very much for this video.

Please, what I want to randomly select more than 1 item from the list at one?

I can I go about it?

I look forward to your response.

Presented and excuted so great. I am a small business owner needing more flows. I would love to consult with you. Thank you again.

Is there a way you could capture a response in this case? Lets say the dinner item is picked but the user responds that they have an allergy. Could we capture that response in this flow so it can be noted or flagged?

Thank You for this video, I am trying to do the same but do not want repeated rows.
I am having difficulty replicating this for actions which do not require a call back to SharePoint - Thus I cannot use Not selected option for the request, is there a way to do this with the returned array to not select an array that is already selected.

shouldn't the rand function starts with 0 rather than 1?

Hello any Power automate guru with SharePoint list random instead of excel?

[prod_adrian]

Does not work with the free version of Power Automate I guess.. very unfortunate!
Also the design looks completely different to my UI!
