Macro to Create Pivot Table – Adjustable Range

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone could help with the range function of using VBA to create a pivot table. The current range in the code below is "Raw Data!R1C1:R39000C33":

Code:
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
    "Raw Data!R1C1:R39000C33", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12).CreatePivotTable _
    TableDestination:="", TableName:="PivotTable5", DefaultVersion _
    :=xlPivotTableVersion12


What I’d like to do is have the macro find the range itself based on a specific column. In my raw data, I’m using the column marked “deal_id” (row 1 header), to find the range. The last row of data based on this column is the last row used to make the pivot table. The macro would be something like this:

SourceData:=
“Raw Data!R1C1 and last row and C33

Last row = look in row 1 header, find “deal_id”, find last row with data in this column

Create Pivot Table with this range

Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Something like:

FindCol = Rows(1).Find("deal_id", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Column

With Column, find last row

Range = R1C1 through last row and C33

Here's what I've worked up so far, but can't seem to get it to work. Not sure about the Range function - how to define that it starts at R1C1, ends at Column 33, and ends at the last row with data under the heading "deal_id":


Code:
Dim cFind As Long
Dim lr As Long, Rng As Range

cFind = Cells.Find("deal_id", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).Column
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, cFind).End(xlUp).Row
Rng = Range(Cells(2, cFind), Cells(Rows.Count, lr))
    
    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
    Rng, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12).CreatePivotTable _
    TableDestination:="", TableName:="PivotTable5", DefaultVersion _
    :=xlPivotTableVersion12
