This is my pivot cache but I keep getting an error message :( My google cave isn't helping so hoping one of you genius' are able to help.

Thanks in advance!

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"Sum_Data!R1C1:R5000C19", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14).CreatePivotTable _
TableDestination:="", TableName:="Pivot!R1C1", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
candacem,

Welcome to the Board.

I'm guessing the statement doesn't like the TableName parameter. You might consider adding...

Code:
Dim nm As String
nm = Sheets("Pivot").Range("A1").Value

...then changing the TableName argument to...

Code:
TableName:=nm

Cheers,

tonyyy

I am still getting an error but it really doesn't like that change! I have tried changing the table name a few times and this code just doesn't want to work :( Error is The PivotTable field name is not valid

Here is the full code, I have made some changes which was from Microsoft...still doesn't work.

Sub Create_Pivot()
'
' Create_Pivot Macro
'
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
'
Dim myFirstRow As Long
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myFirstColumn As Long
Dim myLastColumn As Long
Dim mySourceData As String
Dim myDestinationRange As String
Dim mySourceWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim myDestinationWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim myPivotTable As PivotTable
Dim nm As String



With ThisWorkbook
Set mySourceWorksheet = .Worksheets("Sum_Data")
Set myDestinationWorksheet = .Worksheets("Pivot")
End With
myDestinationRange = myDestinationWorksheet.Range("A1").Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)
myFirstRow = 1
myFirstColumn = 1


With mySourceWorksheet.Cells


myLastRow = .Find(What:="*", LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
myLastColumn = .Find(What:="*", LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column


mySourceData = .Range(.Cells(myFirstRow, myFirstColumn), .Cells(myLastRow, myLastColumn)).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)


End With


Set myPivotTable = ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=mySourceWorksheet.Name & "!" & mySourceData).CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=myDestinationWorksheet.Name & "!" & myDestinationRange, TableName:="NewPivotTable")


With myPivotTable
With .PivotFields("Class").Orientation = xlRowField
With .PivotFields("Jan-18")
.Orientation = xlDataField
.Position = 1
.Functiom = xlSum
.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00"
End With
End With


With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End With
End Sub

Check your source data - one or more column headers (first row) are probably blank. To create a pivot table, each column must have a header label.

If the error is "PivotTable field name is not valid", then that should be the only reason. Documentation here.

Get the address value in mySourceData variable and then check first row in that address range.
