    Non repeated use of items in a lookup table?

    Is there a way to keep track of which items in the result vector of a lookup table have been used and then prevent them from being used again? Would this have to be done with an array?

    I want to create a flash card game that uses a random lookup value to pull a math problem out of a lookup table but if the problem has already been shown I want it to be eliminated. Is something like this possible? I have worked with an array formula before but can't remember how to do something like this. TIA for any help.

    In a column adjacent to the LUT, enter and copy down =RAND(). Sort the table by that column, and use the questions in the order in which they then appear.
