Hello,

I am trying to run a macro to create a pivot table in a new worksheet. I am getting a run-time error "424 object required"

Please can you help identify what the issue is? I am a beginner at Macros and have only created one successful macro for a pivot table so far.

The line of code that his been flagged in the debug is:

Set PvtTbl = pivotTableWs.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=PvtCache, TableDestination:=Sheet2!R3C1, TableName:=PvtTblName)

The full code is:
Code: 
Sub UnbilledPivot()
'
' UnbilledPivot Macro
' Pivot for daily unbilled work
'


'


Dim PvtTblName As String
Dim pivotTableWs As Worksheet


PvtTblName = "pivotTableName"


' set the worksheet object where we will create the Pivot-Table
Set pivotTableWs = Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("Sheet1"))


' set the Pivot Cache (the Range is static)
Set PvtCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="Sheet1!R1C1:R1048576C8")


' create a new Pivot Table in the new created sheet
Set PvtTbl = pivotTableWs.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=PvtCache, TableDestination:=Sheet2!R3C1, TableName:=PvtTblName)


' after we set the PvtTbl object, we can easily modifty all it's properties

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try changing the line to:

Code: 
Set PvtTbl = pivotTableWs.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=PvtCache, TableDestination:=pivotTableWs.Range("A3"), TableName:=PvtTblName)

I can run through that line without error. Can you go to sheet 1, then select columns A:H and try to create a pivot table as a manual process not in code. Can you without error?

This runs perfectly fine for me provided i have headers in every column of A1:H1 of a sheet called Sheet1.

Code: 
Dim PvtTblName As String
Dim pivotTableWs As Worksheet
Dim PvtTbl As PivotTable

PvtTblName = "pivotTableName"
Set pivotTableWs = Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("Sheet1"))
Set PvtCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="Sheet1!R1C1:R1048576C8")
Set PvtTbl = pivotTableWs.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=PvtCache, TableDestination:=pivotTableWs.Range("A3"), TableName:=PvtTblName)

Click to expand...

Is there another workaround, as the headers have unique identifiers which i would want to keep? I'm not sure if an issue, but i have columns A to BG that make up the data and would want to keep all these options for the pivot table.

Your source data was this:

Code: 
SourceData:="Sheet1!R1C1:R1048576C8")

which is columns A:H in Sheet1. Is it not that?
