If you want to post your code I would be happy to provide some specific
guidance on putting the square onto the sheet........

Thanks Andi,

the algorythm will be working the following way:

When a known symbol is entered onto the grid, the associated row, column
and
grid of 16 other symbols will be stepped through. Each of the 16 symbol
grids will contain 16 candidates for symbols. Each one of these will have
the corresponding symbol removed from its contents i.e. by process of
elimination, the main symbols cell of 16 candidates should be whittled
down
to one eventually. So far I have only got at far as the plain english
stage,
just trying to create it stage by stage with code so I can try out my
ideas.
As for the complete solution of the puzzle I still have to work on that.
For
now this part will speed up the elimination of candidates when the human
mind has decided what the symbol is to be entered.

Thanks again
Gazza

Hi Gazza,

From my understanding of what you are asking I think that would be the
best
solution. You can use the +x,x variables to move the grid around.

I am intrigued by this algorythm - have you got any more details? Sounds
interesting.

I am trying to use excel to help solve the big SuperSudoku puzzles for
myself. I am OK with the algorythm but am not sure of the best way to
implement the code to carry out each stage of the process.

In particular I want a grid of six cells to be highlighted each time a
selection change takes place. Each of the sixteen cells represent the
possible candidates for the unique symbol that shall take their place.
These
will be eliminated and the sixteen cells merged to contain the correct
symbol.
This is a section of what I mean as an example.

0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7
8 9 A B 8 9 A B 8 9 A B
C D E F C D E F C D E F
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7
8 9 A B 8 9 A B 8 9 A B 8 9 A B
C D E F C D E F C D E F C D E F
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7
8 9 A B 8 9 A B 8 9 A B 8 9 A B
C D E F C D E F C D E F C D E F


Do I use the command myRange.Offset(+X,X) or just some other form of
Range("A1:D4") to move the active range with the grid of 16 as shown?
Any
suggestions appreciated.

Gary
