Step gives error sound but not description - excel

I am trying to run some code on Visual basic and about an hour ago it was working fine. I did something(not sure what) and now it gives an error sound but no description. This only happens when I try to create my own function in a module.
I have tried turning my pc on then off. I have opened different excel spreadsheets and yet it still won't let me run my function even with steps. My code below is incomplete but I'm sure it isn't the code itself thats the problem.
Function onetube(Thi As Double, Tho As Double, Tci As Double, Tco As Double) As Double
Dim phih, phic, phicf As Double
Dim ai(1 To 4, 1 To 4) As Variant
phih = (Thi - Tho) / (Thi - Tci)
phic = (Tco - Tci) / (Thi - Tci)
phicf = (phih - phic) / Application.WorksheetFunction.Ln((1 - phic) / (1 - phih))
ai(1, 1) = -0.462
ai(1, 2) = -0.0313
ai(1, 3) = -0.174
ai(1, 4) = -0.042
ai(2, 1) = 5.08
ai(2, 2) = 0.529
ai(2, 3) = 1.32
ai(2, 4) = 0.347
ai(3, 1) = -15.7
ai(3, 2) = -2.37
ai(3, 3) = -2.93
ai(3, 4) = -0.853
ai(4, 1) = 17.2
ai(4, 2) = 3.18
ai(4, 3) = 1.99
ai(4, 4) = 0.649
onetube = phicf
End Function

Invalid procedure call or argument 5 with VBA Right function

I am getting 'Invalid procedure call or argument: 5' error on the following piece of code bolded below. It has run successfully in the past with strings that longer than the one causing the error today. I have tried to include all pertinent information for troubleshooting. I did not write this code so I am lost as to what the issue could be. Any help would be appreciated to resolve the error. Debugger highlights the commented line below.

Ramanujan Function in VBA

I am trying to achieve the Ramanujan Function by using VBA. The formula is in the picture below.
My code is:
Function ramanuian(n)
left_part = (Application.sqrt(8) / 9801)
Dim temp As Double
temp = 0
For i = 0 To n
middle_part = Application.Fact(4 * i) / Application.Power(Application.Fact(i), 4)
right_part = (1103 + 26930 * i) / Application.Power(396, 4 * i)
ramanuian_reciprocal = middle_part * right_part
temp = temp + ramanuian_reciprocal
Next
ramanuian = 1 / (left_part * temp)
End Function
However, when I run this formula in Excel, it shows me an #Value! error. What is wrong with my code?

VBA : For loop exiting without returning the value

I have the following piece for code to simulate stock prices using stochastic process
Function varswap1(s0, r0, sigma0, t) As Double
Rnd (-10)
Randomize (999)
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, r As Double
Dim stock() As Double, dt As Double
Dim per As Integer
per = WorksheetFunction.Round(t * 252, 0)
ReDim stock(per)
stock(1) = s0
dt = 1 / 252
For i = 1 To per
stock(i + 1) = stock(i) * Exp((r0 - 0.5 * sigma0 ^ 2) * dt + sigma0 * Sqr(dt) * WorksheetFunction.NormSInv(Rnd()))
Next
varswap1 = WorksheetFunction.Average(stock)
End Function
In this code, I ran debugging by placing a break point at Next and the entire For loop is working absolutely fine. The problem is after completing the loop the function exits and #VALUE! error is displayed in the cell.
I am not able to figure out what is wrong with this code.
Will be thankful if anyone can help me with it.
Try this:
Const n As Integer = 252
Function varswap1(s0, r0, sigma0, t) As Double
Rnd (-10)
Randomize (999)
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, r As Double
Dim stock() As Double, dt As Double
Dim per As Integer
per = WorksheetFunction.Round(t * n, 0)
ReDim stock(per)
stock(0) = s0 ' First item in the array has index 0
dt = 1# / n ' Avoid integer division, 1/252 = 0
For i = 1 To per
'Each stock depends on the previous stock value:
stock(i) = stock(i - 1) * Exp((r0 - 0.5 * sigma0 ^ 2) * dt + sigma0 * Sqr(dt) * WorksheetFunction.NormSInv(Rnd()))
Next
varswap1 = WorksheetFunction.Average(stock)
End Function
I saw two issues and one suggestion.
One is the array stock goes from 0..252 but you assign values to 1..253 so it crashes.
Also there is a possible integer division resulting in dt=0.0. I updated the definition to make the intent clear that the division is to be done after the conversion from integer to double. Lastly, I moved the magic number 252 to a constant.

Two random numbers sticking together

I'm trying to write a function that changes 3 coordinates and 3 velocities in a loop using random numbers.
Although he generated numbers seem random enough. The two last values never drift apart, while the first one does go its own way.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
If you can excuse my abrasiveness, you are misusing the generator:
1) At the beginning of your function, include the line
Rnd(-1)
That is how you seed the generator.
2) Remove all your Randomize calls as they are ruining the statistical properties of the generator. I think that is the cause of your problems. You can have one Randomize call directly after Rnd(-1) above, but I think it's nice to have the same sequence generated for tractability.
3) There is no need to have a parameter in your Rnd() calls (other than the first step), as the default behaviour is to return a number in the range [0, 1). In fact this could be causing your problems, since a negative parameter value re-seeds the generator!
4) Investigate the effects of doing the above. But be aware that the VBA random sequence is a linear congruential generator of the form next = ((c * prev) mod b) + a where a, b and c are constants, prev is the previous random number and next the generated one. (As a final flourish, the integer values next and prev are scaled to floating point numbers). You can see that there is possible autocorrelation in the sequence since when prev is small, the modulus will have no effect. You can but hope that the engineers at Microsoft have assigned a large value to c to circumvent this effect. This autocorrelation can cause "sticking" when using random numbers in a multidimensional situation.
(4) could therefore be causing your problem, and if it is, you need to switch to another generator. Let me know and we can make some suggestions on that front.

My VBA code is aborting unexpectedly upon exiting a 'While' loop. Why?

I am new to VBA coding. I have done some coding in Javascript and C++, so I do understand the concepts. I'm not too familiar with the specifics of VBA, though. This particular code is for Excel 2007. The sort function was copied from elsewhere as pseudocode (documentation is not mine). I've rewritten it as VBA (unsuccessfully).
This code is not working properly. The code is abruptly aborting entirely (not just jumping out of a loop or function, but quitting completely after going through the While loop twice.
To replicate the problem, save this code as a Macro for an Excel sheet, type the number 9853 in B5, and in B6 type "=Kaprekar(B5)". Essentially, run Kaprekar(9853).
Could someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.
By the way, I'm using While-Wend now. I also tried Do While-Loop with the same result.
Here's the code:
Function Sort(A)
limit = UBound(A)
For i = 1 To limit
' A[ i ] is added in the sorted sequence A[0, .. i-1]
' save A[i] to make a hole at index iHole
Item = A(i)
iHole = i
' keep moving the hole to next smaller index until A[iHole - 1] is <= item
While ((iHole > 0) And (A(iHole - 1) > Item))
' move hole to next smaller index
A(iHole) = A(iHole - 1)
iHole = iHole - 1
Wend
' put item in the hole
A(iHole) = Item
Next i
Sort = A
End Function
Function Kaprekar%(Original%)
Dim Ord(0 To 3) As Integer
Ord(0) = Original \ 1000
Ord(1) = (Original - (Ord(0) * 1000)) \ 100
Ord(2) = (Original - (Ord(1) * 100) - (Ord(0) * 1000)) \ 10
Ord(3) = (Original - (Ord(2) * 10) - (Ord(1) * 100) - (Ord(0) * 1000))
If (Ord(0) = Ord(1)) * (Ord(1) = Ord(2)) * (Ord(2) = Ord(3)) * (Ord(3) = Ord(0)) = 1 Then
Kaprekar = -1
Exit Function
End If
Arr = Sort(Ord)
Kaprekar = Ord(3)
End Function
excel evaluates both items in the while statement, so
While ((ihole > 0) And (A(ihole - 1) > item))
when ihole=0, returns false for the first test, and out of bounds for the second test, bombing out of the function with a #Value error.
A quick bubblesort would be something like this:
Option Explicit
Function Sort(A)
Dim iLoop As Long
Dim jLoop As Long
Dim Last As Long
Dim Temp
Last = UBound(A)
For iLoop = 0 To Last - 1
For jLoop = iLoop + 1 To Last
If A(iLoop) > A(jLoop) Then
Temp = A(jLoop)
A(jLoop) = A(iLoop)
A(iLoop) = Temp
End If
Next jLoop
Next iLoop
Sort = A
End Function
