HI VBA Experts…

I have the following:-
Worksheet called “COUNTRIES” and in cell M1 = “CODE_Group”, M2 = 99
Define Name = CODE_Group and the formula used is ‘=COUNTRIES!$M$1’
Define Name = GroupData and the formula used is ‘=OFFSET(CODE_Group,1,0,COUNTA(COUNTRIES!$M:$M)-1,1)’

My data worksheet is called “Data_PasteArea” with various data in Columns A:O and column O has formula based calculations resulting in 9, 99 OR blanks. I want to apply AutoFilter and select all rows that match with 99 (indicated above - M2 = 99) using VBA code.

My VBA code is giving - Run-Time error ‘-2147417848 (80010108)’:
Method ‘AutoFilter’ of object ‘Range’failed

VBA code is as follows - 

Sub GROUP_Section()
        
    Dim GroupData As Variant
    Dim ws9 As Worksheet, ws99 As Worksheet
    Dim rngCritList As Range, rngExtract As Range
           
    Set ws9 = Worksheets("Data_PasteArea") 'Original Data
    Set ws99 = Worksheets("COUNTRIES")      'List of exclusive codes = 99 only
            
    Sheets("Data_PasteArea").Visible = True
               
    Set rngExtract = ws9.Range("$O$1").CurrentRegion
    Set rngCritList = ws99.Range("GroupData")
        
    GroupData = rngCritList.Value
        
        rngExtract.AutoFilter Field:=15, _
                          Criteria1:=Application.Transpose(GroupData), _
                          Operator:=xlFilterValues
    
        Sheets("Data_PasteArea").Select
                    
    End Sub
Please could you help to correct where I am going wrong.
Thx
