    Encryption Decoding VBA String

    Good evening. I'm brushing up on my VBA skills and I'm trying some more advanced coding. I'm trying one from a long time ago and I cannot make it work. Here's the issue:

    Column A are numbers that need to be encrypted. Column B is a VBA output column that requires finding a replacement value for each number in the Column A set by adding 7 to one of the numbers and then finding the remainder after dividing the new value by 10. Once the scrambled values for all four numbers in the set are found, regenerate the numbers to send by swapping the first and third numbers and the second one with the fourth. (Original order of a set of numbers: first, second, third, fourth after encrypted order: encrypted third number, encrypted fourth number, encrypted first number, encrypted second number.

    I can't seem to make this work!!! I appreciate any assistance!!

    I used 2 User Defined Functions -- you can integrate into a Sub if you want

    You said 'divide' but I think the Mod is a more common operator for things like this

    A lot of the statements below and be combined into a single line, but there's no performance impact and this is more readable


    Option Explicit
    
    
    Function Enc(S As String) As String
        Dim i As Long, n As Long
        Dim E(1 To 4) As String
        
        For i = 1 To 4
            n = Mid(S, i, 1)
            n = n + 7
            n = n Mod 10
            E(i) = Format(n, "0")
        Next i
        
        Enc = E(3) & E(4) & E(1) & E(2)
    End Function
    
    Function Dec(S As String) As String
        Dim i As Long, n As Long
        Dim D(1 To 4) As String
        Dim s1 As String
        
        D(1) = Mid(S, 3, 1)
        D(2) = Mid(S, 4, 1)
        D(3) = Mid(S, 1, 1)
        D(4) = Mid(S, 2, 1)
        
        For i = 1 To 4
            n = D(i)
            n = n + 3
            n = n Mod 10
            D(i) = Format(n, "0")
        Next i
        
        Dec = D(1) & D(2) & D(3) & D(4)
    End Function
