I have tried using the verbal basic module described above but received the following error: Compile error: Invalid outside procedureI am not a programmer and am not well versed in verbal basic. Any suggestions on how to resolve this error? I copied and pasted what is on this website, including the numbers 1-20, and get this error. I tried without the line numbers, and did not get the error but not all of the cells in the range had the numbers replaced with x's.
