Final answer:

A VBA subroutine for generating the Fibonacci sequence involves looping to sequentially add the last two numbers to obtain the next one. The example subroutine provided will print the Fibonacci sequence up to the specified count in the Immediate window within the VBA editor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing a VBA Subroutine for the Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a series where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1. Writing a VBA subroutine to generate the Fibonacci sequence involves using a simple loop and basic arithmetic operations. Here's a VBA subroutine to achieve this:

Sub GenerateFibonacci(Count as Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Dim FirstNumber As Long, SecondNumber As Long, NextNumber As Long

' Initialize the first two numbers
FirstNumber = 0
SecondNumber = 1
' Print the first two Fibonacci numbers
Debug.Print FirstNumber
Debug.Print SecondNumber

' Generate the rest of the Fibonacci sequence
For i = 2 To Count
NextNumber = FirstNumber + SecondNumber
Debug.Print NextNumber
FirstNumber = SecondNumber
SecondNumber = NextNumber
Next i
End Sub

To execute this subroutine, simply call GenerateFibonacci with the desired number of sequence elements you wish to generate. For example, GenerateFibonacci(10) will print the first 10 numbers of the sequence to the Immediate window.
