I’m not sure I understand - do you want to sample 100 rows from a 1,000 row `DataFrame`? Or do you want to draw 1,000 samples of length 100 from a larger data set? My suggestion above can work in both cases, can you clarify what you’re looking for (and what isn’t working for you) ideally by way of a [minimal working example](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757)?
