What is 'Magnitude' in Sample Data?

In the context of Sample Data, 'Magnitude' is a numerical value you can adjust to change the values within your Sample Data set. Magnitude is inputted as a percentage.

How do I choose a Magnitude value?

The choice of Magnitude value depends on your specific needs. Entering a percentage less than 100 will reduce the size of your Sample Data set, while a percentage greater than 100 will increase it.
