Request: how can the macro below be corrected to consistently and efficiently format all available data in any worksheet based on the following criteria?

1. 'reformat number formulas with black font'
2. 'reformat text constants with black font'
3. 'reformat number constants with blue font'
4. 'reformat internal references with green font'
5. 'reformat external references with white font & purple fill'
6. 'reformat hyperlinks with blue font & underline'
7. 'reformat errors with white font & red fill'
8. 'maximize font contrast in cells with fill color'

Problem: the macro will sometimes format incorrectly, fail to format, or freeze my computer. Problem typically arises when only some of the referenced criteria is present (i.e., a worksheet contains only hard-coded data).

Attempted (failed) solutions: (1) using various combinations and placements of error handlers; (2) reordering the subs.

Thank you.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
