I have a spreadsheet where I need to obtain a unique number from a
predetermined list for different entries on different rows (these rows are
not grouped together or in sequence). I need to pick this unique number
sequentially however I cannot use the same number twice. I have tried using
a data validation list however this allows the same number to be used
multiple times. Is there a method where the number can only be used once?
