I've got predetermined items but want to generate random amounts of those items. I've created as below but want to know if its possible to use a single Column to encompass all items instead of having a column for each item

21349

I don't think so; if I understand what it is you are after.

I assume you mean can you just roll one die and have d4 Apples, pears, bananas etc

yep, just one die and all items are generated. each item could be different 1d6-1 for apples, 1d4 for pears etc. Was hoping there might of been a syntax solution with brackets and the like. Thanks for replying so quick :)

You can create a table called 'Mundane Items' with all the mundane items and links in it and the chance of getting each one in the number columns.
Then call it on another table e.g. [1d6x][Mundane Items]

If you wanted different chances,
1-5 [1d4x][Mundane Items]
6-8 [1d6x][Mundane Items]
9-10 [1d8x][Mundane Items]

Unless I'm missing something.

If you just want a random menu:
1-1 [1d4] Item 1, [1d3] Item 2, etc....
There won't be a link to each item this way, though.
