I'm trying to write a subroutine in VB-EXCEL that will return a range containing all the possible numbers for a cell in a Sudoku puzzle. It starts by filling a 1 x 9 range with values of 1 - 9. then loops through the appropriate row in the puzzle, searching for numbers. When it finds one, its value is removed from the 1 x 9 range, eventually leaving only valid, or possible, numbers. The problem is when I run the subroutine I get a Type Missmatch error, or an error having a red dot with a cross in it and the number "400". The errors come from the following proceedure:
For n = 1 To 9 ' figures out what values are potential winners
x = Cells(y, n).Value
If (x > 0) Then
Cells(11, x) = 0
End If
Next n
It looks so simple - am I missing something basic?
Appreciate any suggestions
