I meant does that fit your situation rather than error.

this provides a little more background:

Circular reference does not calculate during Range.Calculate execution in
Excel 2002

here is a less likely cause:

just a general reference:

I have a very short and simple macro, whose purpose is to calculate the
selected range (thereby avoiding the time it takes to calc the entire
sheet).

Sub Recalc_Range()

Selection.Calculate
End Sub

I was running Excel 97, and it worked fine. Now that I have updated to
Excel XP, I get the following error message: "Calculate Method of Range
Class
Failed"

I am stumped. I've tried a variety of things, like setting a range
variable
equal to the current selection, then running the calculate function on
that
range. Same error message. I have also read that you may get this
error
message if the Range has no data. My range has data, so that is not it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
