Default Excel inconsistency

After a bunch of fiddling, i got a macro to duplicate a chart below a
single one on a worksheet.
But there was a runtime error as noted near the end of the macro.
So i did a lot of more fiddling and was able to get a number of
copies, one after the other by calling them all "Chart 1".
Nasty.
Did other fiddling in attempts to change series ranges and title on
the fly.
Things got worse, so i tried to go back to the original macro as seen
below.
Even deleting the XLSTART folder and re-trying the macro did no good.
**HELP**
