Yes, it doesn't work in your other macro because you have no idea on what you are doing.

If you need help to diagnose why a macro doesn't work, you need to provide the problematic code and give us an idea on what you think the macro should be doing for you.
'Dim char as Range' won't cause a macro to fail unless you have already declared char.
