Random Sample not permissible with Advanced Filter

Is there a workaround for being able to use "Random Sample" in advanced filters?

Any idea why this is not allowed?

Thanks, Jamie.

this will have to work although it's not going to give you the accurate random sample % since you're likely to have additional filters on the campaign, right?

What do you mean exactly? You should use Random Sample at the Choice Step level or as Jamie indicates.

What I'm saying is that within the Smart List, if you have advanced filters, you can't use the Random Sample filter.
Jamie's example is probably the best we can do though if you're taking say 30% of a list and using that list as a filter in campaign, you're going to get less than 30% if you have added filters.
