I am using excel 2013. I do not get any debug option when there is a runtime error. How can I get a debug option during runtime errors?
Edit - I have realized that I have this problem only in the following instance. Normally I am getting the debug option (except for this case). What is especially painful is that it doesn't even tell me which line the error is on.

Code is as follows -
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
Sub doit()
Dim intRowCounter As Long
Dim intColCounter As Long
Dim parentFormula As String
Dim resultantFormulas As String
For intRowCounter = 1 To 100
For intColCounter = 1 To 200
'This is the line giving the error
parentFormula = Right(parentFormula, Len(parentFormula) - 1)
Next intColCounter
Next intRowCounter
End Sub

I came across this thread because I had a spreadsheet where I didn't get a debug option when a macro hit an error. I found that if I make a module and put the same sub in the module instead of the Worksheet then I get the debug option when an error occurs.
If I leave the function in the Worksheet I can set the Options differently. If I leave it on "Break on Unhandled Errors" I only get an error message, if I make it "Break on All Errors" or "Break in Class Module" then I get the debug option when an error occurs.
In VBA editor,
Tools->Options...
menu,General
tab in the resulting dialog, set "Break on All Errors
":
