Naming Ranges Macro Run Time Error 1004

[bloodmilksky]

Hi Guys, I hope you are all well.

I am trying to use the below macro to create named ranges on sheet2 using the values in column A Sheet 1. It will also copy the values from Column B & C for each of the named ranges. rANGES.jpg and create a named range for every value in column A sheet 1 like the image attached.

However Every Time I Try and run this macro i get a " Run Time Error 1004" Application Defined Or Object Defined Error

I have removed all blanks spaces and anything that might cause an error and this still pops up.

Sub TransposeRange_new_code()    Dim OutRange              As Range
    Dim x As Long, y As Long
    Dim sKey As String
    Dim maxCount As Long
    Dim data, dic, keys, items, dataout()


    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    data = Sheet1.Range("A2:E" & Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Value2


    Set dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    Set OutRange = Sheet2.Range("B2")


    For x = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
        If Trim$(data(x, 1)) <> "_" Then
        sKey = Trim$(data(x, 1)) & Chr(0) & Trim$(data(x, 2))
        If Not dic.exists(sKey) Then dic.Add sKey, CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        dic(sKey).Add x, Array(data(x, 4), data(x, 5))
        If dic(sKey).Count > maxCount Then maxCount = dic(sKey).Count
        End If
    Next


    ReDim dataout(1 To maxCount + 1, 1 To dic.Count * 3)
    keys = dic.keys
    items = dic.items
    For x = LBound(keys) To UBound(keys)
        dataout(1, x * 3 + 1) = Split(keys(x), Chr(0))(0)
        dataout(1, x * 3 + 2) = Split(keys(x), Chr(0))(1)
        For y = 1 To items(x).Count
            dataout(1 + y, x * 3 + 1) = items(x).items()(y - 1)(0)
            dataout(1 + y, x * 3 + 2) = items(x).items()(y - 1)(1)
        Next y
    Next



    "OutRange.Resize(UBound(dataout, 1), UBound(dataout, 2)).Value2 = dataout"


    For x = 1 To UBound(keys)
        OutRange.Offset(0, (x - 1) * 3).Resize(maxCount, 2).Name = "" & validName(Split(keys(x - 1), Chr(0))(0))
        With OutRange.Offset(0, (x - 1) * 3 + 1)
            .Hyperlinks.Add anchor:=.Cells(1), Address:="mailto://" & .Value2, TextToDisplay:=.Value2
        End With
    Next


End Sub
Function validName(ByVal sText As String) As String
    Dim n As Long
    Dim bChars() As Byte
    bChars = sText
    If UCase$(sText) Like "*[!A-Z0-9._]*" Then
        For n = 0 To UBound(bChars) - 1 Step 2
            Select Case bChars(n)
                Case 46, 48 To 57, 65 To 90, 95
                    ' valid character: _ . number or letter
                Case Else
                    ' convert to underscore
                    bChars(n) = 95
            End Select
        Next n
    End If
    validName = bChars
End Function

any help as always would be greatly appreciated,

many thanks and all the best
