Array for multiple columns and paste into different sheet, getting #ref at the last row?

Question

I want to copy put a range of columns into an array and paste columns based into a different worksheet using an array.

I want to put column A2 to H from RESOURCEPLANNING into an array and paste column A,B,D,F & G into Resource_Output worksheet, however I get #REF. error at the bottom of my table.

Currently my code is:

Sub Resourceplanning_array()
    Dim Var As Variant
    Dim my_Arange As Variant
    Dim rp As Worksheet, rp_opt As Worksheet
    
    Set rp = Sheets("RESOURCE_PLANNING")
    Set rp_opt = Sheets("RP_Output")
    
    Dim cell As Range


my_Arange = rp.Range("A2", rp.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
   Var = Application.Index(my_Arange, Evaluate("row(1:" & [a1].CurrentRegion.Rows.Count & ")"), Array(1, 2, 4, 6, 8))

rp_opt.Range("A1:E" & UBound(Var)) = Var 'Output the Array.
End Sub

Slice a 2D Array

• It is assumed that the data starts in A1 and has a row of headers.
• You have to use 7 instead of 8 to copy column G instead of column H .
• [A1].CurrentRegion.Rows.Count may yield different results depending on which worksheet is active, so you should rather qualify the range: rp.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count .
• rp.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count may be different than rp.Range("H" & rp.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row , so you should opt for one (I've opted for the former).
• A quick fix could be [a1].CurrentRegion.Rows.Count - 1 , but is not recommended due to the previous two reasons. rp.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count - 1 would be better.
• Both solutions do the same except for the out-commented 'exclude-headers-parts' in the first solution, which you could use to not include the headers, and the 'clear-contents-part' in the second solution, which you could use to clear the contents below the destination range.
• Adjust the values in the constants section, the workbook reference, and if headers should be excluded (and if the contents below the destination range should be cleared).
