Sheet1 contains a list of drawings. The numbers are in Columns C through G. One row for each drawing.
Sheet2 contains numbers 1-43 of which 5 will be selected for the next drawing.

In Sheet2 Column B (SBLO) is where I want to place the number of drawings Skipped Between the Last Occurance for each number in Column A (#).

The Sheet2 example has the results I'm seeking in Column B (SBLO) according to the latest drawings in Sheet1.
[IMPORTANT] I didn't template the full history of drawings in my Sheet1 example. The #4 on Sheet2 shows 47 skips between last occurance but to save space I didn't list the drawings that far back.

Ex. 2-6-11-13-31 was the last drawing on Sheet1 so they will have 0 skips between last occurance on Sheet2. The drawing before that on Sheet1 was 6-7-22-23-32. Numbers# 7, 22, 23, 32 on Sheet2 will have 1 skip between last occurance, 6 already has 0, etc. etc.

Hey, I know it's a lottery Sub I'm seeking but it's a fun way to learn Excel VBA.

I'm wondering whether I need to define two ranges, one in Sheet1 and one in Sheet2.

Lame attempt below. This is stuff I mashed together from my little subroutine library but it definitely has big holes in it. I'm far from being VBA proficient. I only know enough to be dangerous and always frustrated.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.


VBA Code:
Sub Count_SBLO()
'
' 
'

'
Dim myRange As Range
Dim c As Range
Set drwgRange = Sheet1.Range("C3", Range("G1048576").End(xlUp))
   
    For Each c In myRange
        For i = c.Row - 2 To 1 Step -1
            If Not IsError(Application.Match(c, drwgRange.Rows(i), 0)) Then
                c.Offset(, 1) = c.Row - 1 - i
                Exit For
            Else
                c.Offset(, 1) = 0
            End If
        Next i
    Next c
End Sub
