This article will explain the VBA procedure too large error.
There are 2 main reasons that this error can appear in Excel VBA.
Check Excel Version
This error can occur if you are running a 32-bit version of Excel, but you have a very large procedure which would be better off being run in a 64-bit environment.
Just because your PC is 64-bit does not necessarily mean that your version of the Microsoft Office is 64-bit, so you will need to check your Excel version.

Check in the information that appears about Excel – it will let you know if you are running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office.
If you need to upgrade to the 64-bit version, make sure that it will not effect any add-ins or other macros that you use. Most add-ins and macros need to be customized to run on the 64-bit version of office and older add-ins may not run at all.
