Generate a random number within a specific range

brindas1
Hi all,
Is there a way to generate a random number within a specific range? For example, I want to generate a random number between 60 to 90. Can I able to do it using Appian functions? Using rand() function I can able to generate a random 2, 3, 4 .... digit numbers but not within a specific range.

    Here's another solution:
    For your case ri!upper will be 90 and ri!lower will be 60

    with(

    local!possibleNumbers: difference(
    1+enumerate(ri!upper),
    1 + enumerate(ri!lower)
    ),

    local!count: length(local!possibleNumbers),

    local!randomIndex: tointeger(local!count*(rand())),

    if(local!randomIndex =0,
    local!possibleNumbers[tointeger(local!count*(rand()))],

    local!possibleNumbers[local!randomIndex]
    )

    )
