Hi All,

I am trying to write a script to create a pivot table for the entire data set on a tab. When I record it and run the macro on a table with a larger number of rows, the macro set the range to only include the number of rows that existed in the dataset when the pivot was recorded. Can someone please provide me the script to create this pivot using the "last row" function for columns A through F?

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
First find the last used row using the following code . . .

VBA Code:
    With Worksheets("Sheet1")
        Dim lastRow As Long
        lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    End With

Then replace . . .

VBA Code:
SourceData:="Sheet1!R1C1:R346C7"

with

VBA Code:
SourceData:="Sheet1!R1C1:R" & lastRow & "C7"

However, here's a more efficient way of creating your pivot table . . .

VBA Code:
Sub prepareMBEWpivot()

    'set the source worksheet
    Dim sourceWorksheet As Worksheet
    Set sourceWorksheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
    
    'set the source range
    Dim sourceRange As Range
    Set sourceRange = sourceWorksheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    
    'delete pivot table, if it exists
    On Error Resume Next
    sourceWorksheet.Range("J1").PivotTable.TableRange2.Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    'create the cache
    Dim ptCache As PivotCache
    Set ptCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=sourceRange)
    
    'create the pivot table
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Set pt = sourceWorksheet.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=ptCache, TableDestination:=sourceWorksheet.Range("J1"))
    
    With pt
    
        'set properties
        '
        '
        
        With .PivotCache
            .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
            .MissingItemsLimit = xlMissingItemsDefault
        End With
        
        .RepeatAllLabels xlRepeatLabels
        
        With .PivotFields("generic")
            .Orientation = xlRowField
            .Position = 1
        End With
    
        With .PivotFields("Article")
            .Orientation = xlRowField
            .Position = 2
        End With
        
        'etc
        '
        '
    
    End With
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!

For some reason this script is throwing an error. Is there anyway I could add in the "last row" script into the script I provided. The script I sent has some formatting being done to the pivot that the one you sent did not include.

Is there a way to name this pivot table so when I run another macro to filter to pivot for a standard cost of 0.00 that macro is able to reference that pivot table name?

If not, is is there a way to add in the step to filter for standard price of 0.00?

This is the code that I am using to filter but the pivot name is always changing so the filtering macro fails

Sub filterMBEWpivot()
'
' filterMBEWpivot Macro
'

'
Range("K1").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields("Standard price"). _
ClearAllFilters
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields("Standard price"). _
CurrentPage = "0.00"
End Sub

You can store the pivot table name in a module-level constant, and then use it to refer to your pivot table within both your procedures. So, for example, try the following . . .

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Const PT_NAME As String = "MyPivotTableName" 'change the pivot table name as desired

Sub prepareMBEWpivot()

    'set the source worksheet
    Dim sourceWorksheet As Worksheet
    Set sourceWorksheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
    
    'set the source range
    Dim sourceRange As Range
    Set sourceRange = sourceWorksheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    
    'delete pivot table, if it exists
    On Error Resume Next
    sourceWorksheet.PivotTables(PT_NAME).TableRange2.Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    'create the cache
    Dim ptCache As PivotCache
    Set ptCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=sourceRange)
    
    'create the pivot table
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Set pt = sourceWorksheet.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=ptCache, TableDestination:=sourceWorksheet.Range("J1"), TableName:=PT_NAME)
