Hi, @3bdoamir1! 👋 **Welcome to our community! 😊** For this, you would need to store the used numbers in a list, and everytime generating a new random no., only accept it if it’s not in the _used numbers_ list. * * * First try applying this method yourselves, and tell us the result. If you stuck, we’ll help you out 🌟 Good Luck! 🎉 Thanks! 😊 ---

cqn You describe more about your app? I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to do after rereading everything. Do you want the row from localDB to be deleted? Or just not used until all rows have been used at least once? If that’s the case there is a special block just for that. In my quiz app, I take all of the questions from local dB, put them into an ‘app’ type variable I call tempList. Then as my quiz steps through each question, instead of getting it from the localDB, I pull the question from var ‘app tempList’. I use the blue list block that says “get and remove #”. Then the app ends when ‘app tempList is empty. The next time the user want to take that quiz to study, all or the questions are reloaded into ‘app tempList’ and the process starts over again ---

Does that happen when you use the random integer block? The thing about randomness is that your odds that you will get the same number two times in a row are just as likely as getting a different number. are just as likely to get the same number as any other number. ---

This task has been solved more than once on the forum. 1. Upload all data from the source to the list 2. Get the number of rows in the list 3. Generate a random index of an element from this range 4. Get the row element by this index 5. Delete a list item by this index Repeat steps 2-5 if the list is not empty ---

All you need to do is create a list with the numbers 1-100 (or however many records you have). Select a number at random from it and remove it from the list. This way every number will be unique. ---
