I have the following code to insert columns, but for some reason it won't insert them. It doesn't give an error, the macro just stops and doesn't insert:

Sub Worksheet_S10()


'Activate Workbook
Workbooks("WorkBook.xlsm").Activate
'Activate Worksheet
Workbooks("Workbook.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1").Activate


'Categorize as Insured or Uninsured
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlDown).Row
Sheets("sheet1").Range("B10:B" & lastRow).Formula = "=IF(RC[7]>1,""Insured"",""Uninsured"")"


'Create Fiscal Year Based Off of Discharge Date
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("K10:K" & lastRow).Formula = "=YEAR(RC[-7])+(MONTH(RC[-7])>='FY Calculation'!R[-8]C[-10])"


'Insert Columns for Categorization
Workbooks("workbook.xlsm").Sheets("sheet1").Activate

[L9].Resize(, 3).EntireColumn.Insert


Thanks!







End Sub

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Why complicate things for inserting columns?

For this use simple code:
Code:
Columns(4).Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Just replace "4" with column number where you need a new one.

Tip: This adds new column to active worksheet. If you want it added in specified one it's better to refer to it:
Code:
Sheets("Sheet1").Columns(4).Insert Shift:=xlToRight

Code:
[L9].Resize(, 3).EntireColumn.Insert
this works for me adding 3 extra columns after col K, on the active sheet.
An alternative would be
Code:
Columns(12).Resize(, 3).EntireColumn.Insert
