I am trying to use the Excel SAMPLING function to get a sample of 30 UNIQUE ID'S from a pool of 100 different ID's. When I use the function I am getting duplicates of several numbers, when it should be pulling 30 unique ID's from the 100 I have selected.

I have inserted the problem below- The column to the far right is the result I am getting when running the function and you can see there are about 4 duplicates in it. How do you run that function without getting any duplicates?
