Using Excel’s VBA, write a program to perform volume calculations on a set of shapes in accordance with the instructions and similar to the spreadsheet layout below:
• Three types of shapes are to be processed: 1-cylinder, 2-cone, and 3-sphere segment.
• Volume equations for the shapes are as follows:

Volcyl = πr2h
Volcon = πr2h/3
Volsph = πr2h/2+ πh3/6
Where r=radius, h=height
• Data defining the shapes will be read directly from the spreadsheet. The program will read one row of data at a time. Each row of data will contain the shape type (1 = cylinder, 2 = cone, 3 = sphere segment), radius and height of the shape. The program will continue to read and process shape data until it reaches a blank row.
• The main program will use a single subroutine or function to calculate the volume of each shape and return this data to the main program. The main program will immediately output the results in a cell adjacent to each row of data.
• The program will also calculate summary data in a 2D array (4 rows x 2 columns, as shown in the spreadsheet above), including: o Total count of each shape
o Total count of all shapes
o Total volume of each shape
o Total volume of all shapes

• The summary statistics should be written back to the spreadsheet
• The program should also check for illegal data including o Negative numbers
o Illegal or undefined volume types

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
So far I got this code, but I'm completely lost. any idea??
Sub vol()
ReDim Shape(1 To 7), rad(1 To 7), ht(1 To 7), vol(1 To 7)
'Read data from spreadsheet
For i = 1 To 7
Shape(i) = Cells(i + 1, 1)
rad(i) = Cells(i + 1, 2)
ht(i) = Cells(i + 1, 3)
Next i
End Sub

Function volume()

If Shape(i) = 1 Then
vol = Worksheet.Function.Pi * rad(i) ^ 2 * ht(i)
ElseIf Shape(i) = 2 Then
vol = Worksheet.Function.Pi * rad(i) ^ 2 * ht(i) / 3
ElseIf Shape(i) = 3 Then
vol = Worksheet.Function.Pi * ht(i) ^ 2 / 2 + Worksheet.Function.Pi * ht(i) ^ 3 / 6
Else
End If
'output vol
For i = 1 To 7
Cells(i + 1, 4) = volume


End Function
