Simple Addition Program: Lab Report

This document provides a summary of a simple addition program created in Microsoft Excel using VBA macros. The summary includes: 1) The program allows the user to input two numbers, which are displayed in separate cells. It then calculates the total of the two numbers and displays it in a third cell. 2) The program was created by writing a VBA subroutine called "Adder" to perform the addition calculation. A button was also inserted to launch the subroutine macro when clicked. 3) When the button is clicked, the macro retrieves the two input numbers from the spreadsheet cells, calculates their sum, and displays the result back in the spreadsheet.
