Default How to use HLOOKUP or other command to find a value within a range

Simple question...I am looking for a value within a range of nine cells in a
row. If the value is not present I would like for the value that is not
present (false) to be displayed. I tried a nested if statement, but the will
only work on 7 conditions.

For example: Take your average Suduko game. In Row1, numbers 1-9 can
appear in a random order. If I want to know if the number 1 has been entered
in any of the nine row cells, logically I would say "If the contents within
B2:B10<1, display 1" and repeat in the next cell, "If the contents within
B2:B10<2,display 2" and so on...up to the number 9. This way the person
doing the puzzle will know what entries are left.

B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 B11 B15 MISSING
VALUE
Row1 6 7 9 2 1 5
=formula to check for value

If not present, value is

displays
