The current query returns one out of every 7 records - so 14.29 percent.You can get rid of that "and o.id % 7=0" and use a "TOP 15 PERCENT" clause like this:declare @MyStart datetimedeclare @MyEnd datetimeset @MyStart = '09/01/2012'set @MyEnd = '09/16/2012'SELECT DISTINCT TOP 15 PERCENT o.order_id,o.first_name,o.last_name ,CAST(maxdate AS VARCHAR(23)) AS completeddate,i.phys_name,i.ins_code,FROM order o WITH (nolock) INNER JOIN inservice i WITH (nolock) ON a.ins_id = i.ins_id, (SELECT MAX(completed_date) maxdate,app_id FROM wwhs_svc WITH (nolock) WHERE completed_date between @MyStart AND @MyEnd ROUP BY app_id) s WHERE a.order_id = s.order_idand i.ins_code in ('1245','1875','1920')ORDER BY NEWID();The order by clause is required only if you want random 15%.You can change last line to "o.id%100 < 15", but unless you have a very large number of records, or unless the number of records happen to be an exact multiple of 100, that will not be accurate. If you have only a few records (like 10 records), it will be completely wrong.
