Custom arrivals probability distribution?

In my custom arrivals table, in my arrivals column can I use a probability distribution? If so, how would it be formatted?

You can just type a distribution in the cell. You can look at the Inter-Arrival time field and use the Choose Statistical Distribution option to see what distributions are offered and what they look like.

You can also use the P() command for a simple percentage to value mapping. For example:

P(25, 1, 25, 2, 50, 3)

25% of the time returns a 1, 25% of the time returns a 2, 50% of the time returns a 3.
