Capturing Range for Pivot table

[davidhall80]

I am trying to put a pivot table in my macro, but each week, the amount of data I have will change. My data that UI want to use is in columns A to E. How do I select all of the data in columns A to E if my row amount varies.

Hi

How about something like

activesheet.PivotTables("Address").SourceData = "A1:E" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

This assumes that the pivot table is on the activesheet, it is called "Address" and that column E will have an entry in the last cell.

Here's a sample of code that I have used more than once...

    Dim WSD As Worksheet, WSD2 As Worksheet
    Dim PTCache As PivotCache
    Dim PT As PivotTable, PTbl As PivotTable
    Dim PRange As Range
    Dim LastRow As Long
    
    Set WSD = Worksheets("Main Data")
    Set WSD2 = Worksheets("Pivot Detail")
    vFields = Range("Table_PivotData").Value
   
    'define input area and set up a Pivot Cache
    LastRow = WSD.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    WSD.Activate
    WSD.Cells(1, 1).Resize(LastRow, 37).Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="PData", RefersTo:=Selection
    Set PRange = WSD.Cells(1, 1).Resize(LastRow, 37)
    Set PTCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(xlDatabase, Range("PData"))
    Set PT = PTCache.CreatePivotTable(WSD2.Range("A10"), "Detail Pivot")
    PT.ManualUpdate = True
    
    WSD2.Activate

    '...continue to play with the pivot table

This is the beginning of code that works with about 40 fields, so I put the fields in a table and loaded them into an array to simplify referencing them. The bottom line is to create the range name on the fly, and use that as the data source for the pivot table.

Hope this helps
