How to assign a label (Type) for the items based on a global table

Hello, I'm trying to assign 4 labels(types) of parts depending of a percentage located in a global table. I'm doing it using an empirical distribution in an exit trigger of the shipment but it doesn't work. Could you help me with this?

Your label's value expression to read the global table should be something like this:

Table("GlobalTable1")[Empirical("Percentage").get(getstream(current))][3]

And your Percentage table should be formatted with the columns switched so that the Data column contains the row value.

When using the Empirical command, you need to reference an empirical distribution, in your case you could use Empirical("Percentage").get(getstream(current)) in your trigger to use the empirical distribution "Percentage" that you have.
