I'm working on a 3x3 version of the 2048 game and am having trouble displaying the score and highscore. The score is supposed to be equal to the new cell value if two cells have merged.
Here is a sample of what I am working with (note 3x3 grid is "C4:E6"):
Code:
[COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]  [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#858C93][FONT=inherit]' Up button column C merging C5 into C4[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">[COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]

The "Points" row is really what I'm concerned with and the points should be displayed in Cell F4 (Cells(4, 6))
The highscore code is as follows:

Where the highscore is put into Cell F5 (Cell(5, 6)). The problem is that the scores are not showing up in the actual cells on the worksheet. What did I do wrong?
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

Welcome to the Forum!

If the high score is in F5 and the current score is in F4, don't you want:
Code:
If Cells(4, 6).Value > Cells(5, 6).Value Then Cells([COLOR=#ff0000][B]5[/B][/COLOR], 6).Value = Cells([COLOR=#ff0000][B]4[/B][/COLOR], 6).Value

But I'm not totally clear what you mean by "scores are not showing up"? There may be other problems with your code. For example, Cells(4,6) refers to F4 on the ActiveSheet. If your code moves between worksheets, ActiveSheet may not be the worksheet you intend.

Just FYI, there's VBA code for the standard 4x4 game here: https://www.spreadsheet1.com/2048-game-version-for-excel.html
