selected numbers to disappear
 

Hi,
The below code is for drawing random numbers between 1-35 (not repeating).
The drawn number is being displayed in A1 and at the same time beeing added
on column B1:B35 as the macro is executed repetedly via a control button. So
far so good. But I need to add a new dimension to this code:
I am also displaying the numbers 1...35 on column C1:C35 and as I go along
selecting random numbers via the macro, I want the drawn number on column C
to disappear one after the other as well...How is this achieved?
TIA
----------------------
Sub Rast()
Dim say As Integer
Dim ara As Range
Dim RS As Integer

say = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B1:B35")) + 1
If say = 36 Then Exit Sub

Randomize
again:
RS = Int((Rnd * 35) + 1)
For Each ara In Range("B1:B" & say)
If ara.Value = RS Then
GoTo again
End If
Next ara
Range("A1") = RS
Cells(say, 2) = RS
End Sub

Hi, an follow-up addy...:)
Is it possible to fill in the remaining cells as we move along clearing the
drawn list numbers on column C1:C35 ?

Here is another way to cook it...

For RS = 1 To 35
objRangeC(RS).Value = RS
Next 'RS
objRangeB.ClearContents
End If

Do While blnNotThere = False
Randomize
RS = Int(Rnd * 35 + 1)
If Len(objRangeC(RS)) Then
blnNotThere = True
Range("A1").Value = RS
objRangeC(RS).ClearContents

selected numbers to disappear
 

Hope I can express myself:
Say we have numbers 1...35 on column C1:C35. When we select a random number
(say 15) via our macro, the cell containing that number (C15) is cleared.
Now I wonder if we can move the rest of the remaining number list on column
C1:C35 upwards so that the "cleared" cells are pushed towards the bottom of
column C.
TIA

Nice code, Jim ! A request ..

If instead of 35 numbers,
I have an input list of 35 names
(in say A1:A35 in sheet: Names)

how could your code be modified
to work in the same manner (in a new Sheet2, say)
as it currently does for the numbers ?

And .. the code will "terminate" with
a message, say: "That's it, folks! .. Repeat?"
when all the 35 names have been exhausted
(after the 35th run)

Thanks
