Like I'm sure a lot of people who solved the advance challenge, I created a macro that will solve any Sudoku puzzle.

Wanted to solve it with Alteryx Basic Tools (no R, no Python)  Tried to follow how a general human would solve it, taking out the easiest first until stuck, then using a choice picker to continue.   If the initial sudoku puzzle is not solvable this job will fail 1,000,000 iterations.
