 Adding code to a VBA procedure allows you to define specific actions or tasks that Excel will execute when the procedure is called. Here's how you can add code to a VBA procedure:

Open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE): Press "Alt + F11" in Excel to open the Visual Basic Editor. Alternatively, you can go to the "Developer" tab in the ribbon and click on "Visual Basic."

Navigate to the Module: In the Project Explorer window on the left side of the VBE, double-click on the module where you want to add code. This will open the module's Code window.

Write or Insert Code: In the Code window, you can write or insert the VBA code for your procedure. Here's an example of a procedure that calculates the sum of two numbers and displays the result in a message box:

Sub CalculateSum() 
Dim num1 As Double 
Dim num2 As Double 
Dim sum As Double 
' Prompt the user to enter the first number 
num1 = InputBox("Enter the first number:") 
' Prompt the user to enter the second number 
num2 = InputBox("Enter the second number:") 
' Calculate the sum 
sum = num1 + num2 ' Display the result in a message box 
MsgBox "The sum of " & num1 & " and " & num2 & " is " & sum 
End Sub

This code defines a procedure named "CalculateSum" that prompts the user to enter two numbers, calculates their sum, and then displays the result in a message box.

Save the Workbook: Save your Excel workbook to preserve the VBA code you've added.

Run the Procedure: To run the procedure, follow the steps mentioned in the previous response.

Verify the Output: When you run the procedure, you should see the message boxes prompting you to enter two numbers, followed by another message box displaying the sum of those numbers.

That's it! You've successfully added code to a VBA procedure. You can continue to enhance and customize your procedures by adding more code to perform additional tasks or automate specific processes within Excel. Experiment with different VBA commands and explore the capabilities of Excel automation with VBA.
