Sub Create_pivot()

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim count1, count2, count3 As Integer
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim PvtFilterValue As String
Dim Sec1 As String
Dim Num, DestinationRow As Integer
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim MyPivotTable As PivotTable
Dim mySourceData As String
Dim myDestinationRange As String
Dim myFirstRow As Long
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myFirstColumn As Long
Dim myLastColumn As Long
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim PCache As PivotCache

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Sheet3.Activate
Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
Set ws2 = Sheet8
PvtFilterValue = "x"
ws1.Select
    With ws1
            .AutoFilterMode = False
    End With
    count1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range(Range("K1"), Range("K1").End(xlToRight)))
       
    count2 = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range(Range("K1"), Range("K1").End(xlDown)))
    
    Num = 1
    

    DestinationRow = 3

    myDestinationRange = ws2.Range("A" & DestinationRow).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)
    
    myFirstRow = 1
    myLastRow = count2
    myFirstColumn = 1
    myLastColumn = count1 + 10

    With ws1.Cells
    mySourceData = .Range(.Cells(myFirstRow, myFirstColumn), .Cells(myLastRow, myLastColumn)).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)
    End With
    
    
    ws2.Activate

                                
    Set MyPivotTable = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
                          SourceData:=ws1.Name & "!" & mySourceData, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14) _
                          .CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=ws2.Name & "!" & myDestinationRange, _
                          Tablename:="PivotTable" & Num, DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14)
    
        Sec1 = ws1.Range("K" & Num).Value

   With ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields(Sec1)
    .Orientation = xlRowField
    .Position = 1
    End With
    
        ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields(Sec1).PivotFilters.Add Type _
        :=xlCaptionContains, Value1:=PvtFilterValue
        
        

    With ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields("Signal_Type")
            .Orientation = xlRowField
            .Position = 2
        End With
        

    With ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num)
        .InGridDropZones = True
        .ShowDrillIndicators = False
        .RowAxisLayout xlTabularRow
    End With
    
    With ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num)
        .ColumnGrand = False
        .RowGrand = False
    End With
    
    ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields(Sec1).Subtotals = _
        Array(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False)
        
    ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields("Signal_Type").Subtotals = _
        Array(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False)
    ws2.PivotTables("PivotTable" & Num).AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "PivotTable" & Num).PivotFields("Cable OD"), "Sum of Cable OD", xlSum
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Here

<Code>Set MyPivotTable = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
SourceData:=ws1.Name & "!" & mySourceData, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14) _
.CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=ws2.Name & "!" & myDestinationRange, _
Tablename:="PivotTable" & Num, DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14<code>

You should always enclose sheet names in single quotes for safety:

Code:
Set MyPivotTable = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
SourceData:="'" & ws1.Name & "'!" & mySourceData, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14) _
.CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:="'" & ws2.Name & "'!" & myDestinationRange, _
Tablename:="PivotTable" & Num, DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14

I think, your sheet3 data has missings in top row, causing pivot table with missing headers.
