I have a task to update an Excel tool we use at my job to update/improve functionality. Unfortunately I am building on some already existing VBA code which has made things slightly trickier. The functionality I was trying to add was a simple macro (button press) to create a spider/radar plot of the data along with some extra layers which represent points of progression through a project. I've managed to get all of the functionality working that I wanted but the issue I'm having is that the macro runs and creates the chart, all the data is selected correctly, but the image doesn't show until I save the spreadsheet, close and open again. I've attached my code and a couple of screenshots to try to explain it clearer.

Apologies in advance for the state of my coding, as I said I'm not that experienced and have pieced it together from various learnings on the internet.

Code:
Sub Spider()



'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'Delete Spider Chart Sheets That Already Exist'

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''



Dim mySheetName As String

mySheetName = "Spider Chart"

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets(mySheetName).Delete

On Error GoTo 0

Application.DisplayAlerts = True



'''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'Check How Many Rows Exist'

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''



Dim LastRow As Integer

   LastRow = 10                   

   While Sheets("TRLs").Cells(LastRow, 1) <> ""   

       LastRow = LastRow + 1

   Wend

   LastRow = LastRow - 1



''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'Set Up Constant Value Arrays To Plot'

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''



Dim arr_length As Integer

arr_length = LastRow - 10

Dim Concept() As Integer

ReDim Concept(arr_length)

Dim Ass_Phase() As Integer

ReDim Ass_Phase(arr_length)

Dim Dev_Phase() As Integer

ReDim Dev_Phase(arr_length)

Dim Risk_Red() As Integer

ReDim Risk_Red(arr_length)

Dim Qualif() As Integer

ReDim Qualif(arr_length)

Dim Production() As Integer

ReDim Production(arr_length)

Dim Filled() As Integer

ReDim Filled(arr_length)

    Dim intI As Integer

    For intI = 0 To arr_length

    Concept(intI) = 1

    Ass_Phase(intI) = 3

    Dev_Phase(intI) = 4

    Risk_Red(intI) = 5

    Qualif(intI) = 6

    Production(intI) = 7

    Filled(intI) = 9

    Next intI
