šŸ“š Private sub procedures can be called within the same module but not from outside modules.

šŸ”’ The scope of private members is limited to the module they are defined in.

šŸ”„ To access private members from another module, the sub procedure needs to be in the same module as the private member.

00:03:14 Learn how to use sub procedures and functions in Excel VBA, including passing arguments to sub procedures. Make your code more generic with parameterization.

šŸ”‘ Sub procedures in Excel VBA can also accept arguments, allowing for parameterization and flexibility.

šŸ’” By passing arguments to sub procedures, you can replace hard-coded values with dynamic inputs, making the code more versatile.
