I cannot figure out why I am getting a "Subscript out of range" error with this line:

WS.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(2, 3), Header:=xlNo
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop

This works:
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=2, Header:=xlNo

But this doesn't:
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(2), Header:=xlNo

Why?

why?
because of this

try like this bro
VBA Code:
Sub www()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ar As Variant
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")

ar = [{1,2}]

Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates ar(1), Header:=xlNo

End Sub

Solution
But how would I build a string of multiple columns, Ex. MyStr="1,3" -> ar="[{" & MyStr & "}]", that would be accepted by the RemoveDuplicates command? It doesn't seem to like a string.

This code will fail if the sheet is not the active sheet
VBA Code:
WS.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(2, 3), Header:=xlNo
it should be
VBA Code:
WS.Range(WS.Cells(1, 1), WS.Cells(5, 3)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(2, 3), Header:=xlNo
