• Rules
• If the value of a variable is NOT going to be changed within a method, use ByVal
• If the value of a variable is going to be changed within a method but the value makes NO
IMPACT to the caller method, use ByVal
• If the value of a variable is going to be changed within a method and the value makes
IMPACT to the caller method, use ByRef 2

Sub and Function
• Description: ByRef and ByVal
• Create a macro that utilizes methods for its Do-loop
IsEmpty()
implementation. This macro program is designed Range(col & "1")
to compute the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of
n data points, where n represents any positive ChatGPT
value.
• Utilize ChatGPT to professionally revise the
program.
