User-Defined VBA Function & Sub Procedures. In Excel Visual Basic, a set of commands to perform a specific task is placed into a procedure, which can be a Function procedure or a Sub procedure (also known as functions and subroutines).
Create your own Functions in Excel VBA. Functions are closely related to the Subs you learned about in a previous section, and are set up in a similar way. The difference is that functions return a value (like the MsgBox function) whereas Subs don't return a value - they just get on and execute the code.
