Pivot Table sum not count!

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

The following macro creates a pivot table and the data is suppose to aggregate by sum not count but it is NOT COOPERATING!

Here is the macro which to my understanding tells the pivot table to do a sum of the data. Can anyone propose a corrected code or another string of code to make it do the sum?

Does your data set contain nulls? If so replace those with zeros.

 

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

Yes there are nulls because I have the macro auto select a range to create a pivot table from.


ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ "Sheet3!R1C1:R5925C6").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="", TableName:= _ "PivotTable1", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10


Is there a way to tell it to only select a range with populated cells?

 

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

I know that the pivot table always has "blanks" that I have to uncheck but I don't know how to make it ignore these.

 

[chall]

Make the replacement in the source data, not the pivot report. There should be one data column to edit.
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet3.Range("h1:h100")
rng.Replace What:=Null, Replacement:=0

 

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

I get a Run time error 424, Object Required, this code is highlighted during debug.

The Set rng = Sheet3.Range("h1:h100")


I've tried to change the range to multiple things and I keep getting the same error.

Please Help!

 

[chall]

Can you just manually select the data range and do a Home>Find>Replace to get rid of all the null or missing values that way? Be sure to have a backup of your data.

 

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

No, I need it to do it all in one step. I am going to eventually export these macros to a few co-workers who are in their late 50's early 60's that have very limited computer ability.

Hitting ctrl+shift+T and being able to look at the result is about as far as I'm willing to push them.

This macro is serviceable, i just have to select sum everytime it is finished but for utmost perfection/simplicity, I want the macro to do it automatically.

 

[chall]

Ok then, back to your error message. Be sure that Microsoft DAO Object library is checked in the references.

 

[Desu Nota from Columbus]

That didn't help either. Im to the point that I might say "screw it", hopefully double-clicking on a button and selecting sum is not too complicated...
