Code:
Private Sub TestFunctions()
    Dim flag As Range, EB As Range
    Set flag = Range("H82")
    Set EB = Range("K84")
    MsgBox SumCells(flag, EB)
End Sub

Function SumCells(flag As Range, EB As Range)
    Dim sumRng As Range
    Dim a As Currency, b As Currency
    Set sumRng = flag
    b = Abs(EB)
    a = flag
    
    Do Until a >= b
        If a <> b Then
            Set sumRng = Union(sumRng, Range(RangeOffset(sumRng)))
            a = WorksheetFunction.Sum(sumRng)
        End If
    Loop
    SumCells = sumRng
End Function
The issue is with passing along the arguments to a function. It says there's a mismatch. When I had the code all in one, it worked but was too cluttered. I decided to use functions to declutter it.

The function's job is to return a range of cells. i.e. A1:Z1, NOT the amounts in the cells.

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Sumcells is returning an array which msgbox can't display. Did you mean to assign a, rather than sumrng, as the result of sumcells?
