Losing Pivot Chart Formatting when running Macro

All,

I have been using Debra Dalgleish's "Change All Pivot Tables With One Selection" macro, and it has been working fine.

On Friday, I tried to apply it to a number of Pivot Charts and while the data elements were updating correctly, the charts would revert to default format. e.g. chart type back to bar, and all on one axis, instead of multi axis.

If I step into the code and run run it in break mode, the formatting is preserved.

I guess I could hard code the formatting into the macro, but it seems a rather inelegant solution - particularly as formatting is still a work in progress.

Any idea why it might be behaving differently when running normally vs stepping through the code?

Being unable to replicate the problem in break mode - I am unsure how to try and isolate the problem!

Code running is below:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
On Error Resume Next
Dim wsMain As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ptMain As PivotTable
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pfMain As PivotField
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim bMI As Boolean

On Error Resume Next
Set wsMain = ActiveSheet
Set ptMain = Target

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'change all fields for all pivot tables on active sheet

For Each pfMain In ptMain.PageFields
    bMI = pfMain.EnableMultiplePageItems
        For Each pt In wsMain.PivotTables
            If pt <> ptMain Then
                pt.ManualUpdate = True
                Set pf = pt.PivotFields(pfMain.Name)
                        bMI = pfMain.EnableMultiplePageItems
                        With pf
                            .ClearAllFilters
                            Select Case bMI
                                Case False
                                    .CurrentPage = pfMain.CurrentPage.Value
                                Case True
                                    .CurrentPage = "(All)"
                                    For Each pi In pfMain.PivotItems
                                        .PivotItems(pi.Name).Visible = pi.Visible
                                    Next pi
                                    .EnableMultiplePageItems = bMI
                            End Select
                        End With
                        bMI = False
                
                Set pf = Nothing
                pt.ManualUpdate = False
            End If
        Next pt
Next pfMain
    
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
