Autofill a Named Range VBA

Question

I am trying to autofill a named range obtained from an inputbox with certain values. This is the code that I have but I keep getting Error 13 on my Set fillRange = xRgl line of code. This is the code that I have:

Dim xRg1 As Range
Set xRg1 = Application.InputBox("Range:", Type:=8)
Range("D5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
Range("D6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3"
Range("D7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "4"
Range("D8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "5"
Range("D9").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "6"
Set SourceRange = Range("D5:D9")
Set fillRange = xRgl
SourceRange.AutoFill Destination:=fillRange

Check the name of your variables. You have `xRg1` and `xRgl` floating around in there. When it comes to the VBA Editor I found [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23173694/is-it-possible-to-write-excel-vba-code-in-visual-studio) very helpful to make it a little easier. — OGP99, Jun 21 '22 at 20:04
fillRange isn't Dimmed - Why are you even using it when you already have xRg1 - what's the difference between the two — dbmitch, Jun 21 '22 at 20:04
