VBA Cell Format Error

I'm trying to format a group of cells using a for loop (later a conditional while loop)

I'm getting the error '1004'

Method 'Range' of object "Global' failed

I can't figure out how to convert the cells value to a range value that doesn't throw this error. The Cells(x,y) by itself throws an error as well

Thanks in advance

    For row = 2 To 5

    With Range(Cells(row, 5)).Interior
        .Pattern = xlPatternRectangularGradient
        .Gradient.RectangleLeft = 0.5
        .Gradient.RectangleRight = 0.5
        .Gradient.RectangleTop = 0.5
        .Gradient.RectangleBottom = 0.5
        .Gradient.ColorStops.Clear
    End With
    With Range(Cells(row, 5)).Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(0)
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Range(Cells(row, 5)).Interior.Gradient.ColorStops.Add(1)
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent6
        .TintAndShade = -0.250984221930601
    End With

Next row
