Default insert column macro will incorrectly add another value

I have a macro that will prompt the user for number of columns to
insert. Each of the inserted columns needs to keep the same formulas,
but delete the constants. When the macro is run the formulas remain
correct however if the original column had a 5 in it the new column
will show a 6 in the same row on the new column. Example:
Column A Added column B Added Column C
=sum(A2:A5) =sum(A2:A5) =sum(A2:A5)
1 2 3
2 3 4
3 4 5

If anyone could determine why it is showing the constants + 1 and
revise the code I would appreciate it, or has a better way to achieve
the same objective.

Sub InsertColumnsAndFillFormulas(Optional vColumn As Long = 0)
Dim x As Long
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select 'So you do not have to preselect
entire row
If vColumns = 0 Then
vColumns = Application.InputBox(prompt:= _
"How many columns do you want to add?", Title:="Add Columns", _
Default:=1, Type:=1) 'Default for 1 row, type 1 is number
If vColumns = False Then Exit Sub
End If

Dim sht As Worksheet, shts() As String, i As Long
ReDim shts(1 To Worksheets.Application.ActiveWorkbook. _
Windows(1).SelectedSheets.Count)
i = 0
For Each sht In _
Application.ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedShee ts
Sheets(sht.Name).Select
i = i + 1
shts(i) = sht.Name

x = Sheets(sht.Name).UsedRange.Columns.Count 'lastcell fixup

Selection.Resize(columnsize:=2).Columns(2).EntireC olumn. _
Resize(columnsize:=vColumns).Insert Shift:=xlToRight

Next sht
Worksheets(shts).Select
End Sub

Thanks for all help!
