I have a workbook with a number of pivot tables as well as the source data for each pivot table. Some of the source data sheets needed to be deleted so now if I try to refresh the corresponding pivot table I get "Connot open pivot table source file '[Std Mthly Rpt.xls]Report_2'". I recreated the source file again and would like to know if I can link the pivot table to this new source file or do I need to create a new pivot table??
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to write a macro that will create a pivot table, and am getting an Error code 1004: Cannot Open Pivot Table Source File "Sheetname". My code is below. I've tried to note what each section does, and it all seems to work well except for the Pivot Table creation.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2010 and have a workbook with two sheets - "Risks & Issues" which contains the source data and "Risks - Summary" which contains a Pivot Table called "Dashboard"
I would like to create a command button called 'Refresh Data' which will be on the "Risks - Summary" sheet. When I add a new line to the "Risks & Issues" sheet, I would click the button in "Risks - Summary" and it will update the Pivot Table range.
So far I've tried using some examples found on this site, although with no experience in VBA macros, I'm not really sure what they do; all I know is that they cause an error.
Code:
Sub Refresh_Click()
Sheets("Risks - Summary").PivotTables("Dashboard").SourceData = Sheets("Risks & Issues").Range("A2").CurrentRegion.Address(True, True, xlR1C1, True)

I am sourcing data for my pivot table from an csv file. The ultimate task I am trying to accomplish is to allow the user upon hitting a button to select the file that would feed the pivot table. The code below is what I got by linking the initial source file to the pivot table. As I can see the source file named "4 Port.csv" is listed in the SQL-like statement. How do I go about allowing the user to pick the file from the "open file" dialog?
Code:
With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)
.Connection = Array(Array( _
"ODBC;DefaultDir=C:Documents and Settings2301Desktop;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};DriverId=27;FIL=text;MaxBufferS" _

I have the following code to update a pivot table:
Code:
Dim pt As PivotTable
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled
For Each pt In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").PivotTables
pt.ChangePivotCache ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create _
(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="source!R4C1:R33443C55" _
, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion10)
Next pt
the R33443 term is what will be changing, the columns and the starting row should stay the same. is there a way to instead of using R33443, to enable the range to be changed based on a cell value?
I am trying to adapt a macro to run on data that is consistently in the same format but the data does change, the macro needs to run over and over on new excel workbooks, dynamic range ? instead of a set source ?
Sheets.Add
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"weekly71012!R1C1:R9379C30", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14). _
CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="Sheet1!R3C1", TableName:="PivotTable1" _

I am sure this is the problem as i initially created the macro using weekly71012 excel file however i just want it to run on every file i pull it off?
I have 5 pivot tables on 5sheets, all looking at the same source data in sheet 6
On the source data there is a filter on the headers, if you change the filter, is it possible for all 5 pivot tables to update according to the filter?
My starting point is the below, but there probably is a better way but i would want the sourcedata to equal visible rows on the source data sheet headers run A:K and up to row 10000 .
I have a single workbook with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet has a different pivot table displaying a different view of the data. Each pivot table uses the same source data at worksheet1.
Each week i add new data to the end of the source data, which means that I need change the source data reference separately in each pivot table to update each pivot table view to include the new data. This is laborious as there are quite a few pivot tables.
Was wondering if there is some way of changing the pivot table source data reference on all pivot tables at the same time.
There is pivot table for some reason the last column (YEAccts), which sums all the other columns values is exluding the 1st column for some reason. This "YEAccts" shows up fine in the pivot table "field list". And I followed the source for this and it's a table in a different tab that pulls data from an access query connection.
The name of the column that is summing up the rest of the columns is "YEAccts", but for the life of me I can't seem to find where this column is in the source table tab or even in the access query where the data is being pulled from.
How to find this "YEAccts" column? Also, why would it exclude not summing up the data in the first column?
I was wondering if there is any way possible to link your pivot table filters to filter the data the same way in the table that it comes from? So if i had date as one of my headers and i filtered the date to a specfifc date, is there a way to also filter the date in the data source sheet?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Am currently working on an excel sheet that has values in multiple columns and rows. Simple example would be like
Assume two columns , with column One having a dropdown list to select the value ,
Pencil 2
Paper 3
Pencil 3
Eraser 3
Pencil 3
I want the data to be created in another sheet as
Pencil - 8
Paper - 3
Eraser - 3
I understand that this can be done through pivot table but the issue is when I change the quantity of the item in the source , say reduce pencil by 1 , the same should be reflected in the summation sheet as well automatically .
I have a Pivot table which is created by running a macro with formula calculated columns.
Q1. when i add another column in data sheet, and change the source manually, i get a error in calculated columns
Q2. I need to add the new column in data sheet to the row labels of the existing pivot sheet. with change formula calculated columns.
Q3. can we have any macro to this ?
I'm trying to create a Pivot table with various columns comparing information of executives from various Private Equity Firms. Some of the additional columns are Industry Specialty, Harvard Grad Year, My companies contact, etc . . .
The goal is to allow me to then query this information so if I wanted to see all Bain Capital employees who graduated with an MBA in 1990 and their specialty.
My question comes in trying to set up my source list for the data under Industry Specialty and my companies Contact. Is there a way I can set a value for these cells and mark them as an "AND" in the source if there are multiple contacts or industries that one of the Private equity executives is linked too, that would then allow them to be displayed as so when I create the pivot table?
Attached is .zip for further clarification.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the souce data for a Pivot Table?
Eg if I have the Pivot table looking at Columns A & B lines 1 - 20 and I want the Pivot to also include Column C and lines 21 - 50, how would I do this? for a chart I can just right click and select the "Source Data" option but it seems that this is not available for Pivot Tables.
A co-worker of mine set up a pivot table using data saved on an external data source on a shared drive. I would like to create a similar pivot table myself, linked to his pivot table so when he gets updated data, my pivot table also will update accordingly. My question has to do with the pivot table data source. How do I copy the connection?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using pivot tables/charts for drilldown reporting. After running a complex macro to consolidate multiple reports into one range, I need to generate pivot tables and charts.
These reports will change month to month in the number of entries they have (template will be identical), and therefore my data source range for the pivot table is bound to change. Therefore my question is, how to develop a macro that will dynamically change the source data range to the amount of rows?

why the data reference for a pivot table is changing after I email the workbook to a client. The source data and the pivot tables are all part of the same workbook and I can't understand why its saying can't find source data. Excel 2007 is being used on both computers.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using pivot tables which were created by another (no longer contactable) and have found two fields in the field list which are not part of the source data i.e. neither are column headings but are used in the pivot table.
My questions are:
1. How are these field created?
2. How can I examine these fields for formulae (as I have found one of them returns an incorrect value)?
Field1 return a numerical value which is the difference between two columns
Field2 shows this as a % (but incorrectly)

I am producing graphs that compare last years figures (static) with this years figures ( Dynamic) and this years figures come from a Pivot table and Worksheet that has been imported. The value returned in each cell for the graph's dataset is derived from a specific Pivot table row and the column name (month) that matches the column of the data set - so far so good. The formula currently looks like this.
=IF(ISNUMBER(GETPIVOTDATA("Duration of Spell",'Count PS'!$A$3,"Admission Hospital","Hillside","Discharge Date Month Name",Q3)),(GETPIVOTDATA("Duration of Spell",'Count PS'!$A$3,"Admission Hospital","Hillside","Discharge Date Month Name",Q3)),0)
where 'Count PS' is the name of the worksheet and Q3 is the reference cell that holds the Month Name. The problem is that I will not always be creating the report and other users may use a different name for the imported worksheet. I want to be able to set the name of the worksheet to be referenced in a supporting worksheet so that the user could simply amend the cell value to be the name of the source worksheet, but I can't work out the syntax
I have some source data which is used to generate a pivot table. The data is conditionally formatted to color certain cells based on some other values. Once the data is transferred to the pivot table this formatting (as well as the number formatting) is lost.
I have found some code to fix the number formatting issue but can't seem to locate something similar to set the interior color of the cells in the pivot table to match that of the original source data.
I have a pivot table whose data source is located on a shared network drive. Each day a new data source is uploaded and the only thing that changes is the date in the filename (ie. DataSource080813.xlsx). I am trying to find a way to set the data source to update with todays date automatically each day so that when you open the workbook it is always current days data. I have a cell (B2) with a formula in it that gives me the file location of todays file (ie. X:TeamFolderFile1DataSource080813.xlsx, where the date is derived using the TODAY() function. Is there a way to set the pivot table data source to cell B2 and have it use the text from B2 as the file location?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using an Excel file (Raw.xlsx) to store my raw data, and take another Excel file (Pivot.xlsx) to make PivotTable from Raw.xlsx
When generating the PivotTable, every works fine. When click [Refresh] in the Raw.xlsx, whatever changes been made in the Raw.xlsx can "sync" to the Pivot.xlsx
However, once I save and reopen the Pivot.xlsx, I can't refresh the PivotTable anymore. I've tried changing Data Source, but it doesn't work.
Trying to create a basic pivot table from a CSV file for our users. What I've done in the past is open my CSV and then take the option Insert > Pivot Table to create the pivot table from the open CSV/worksheet. My question here is .... how can I save this .XLS and refresh the CSV data within? Or do I need to use an external data source? I don't want to have to use any drivers. I'd love to be able to just point to a CSV or TXT file on our server and that be that.
For something else I have used Web Query strings to point to .php scripts that send back data in XML format. Is this an option?
Again, the goal is for me to create a pivot table and just have our user's open it up and have current/refreshed data within. We can run jobs overnight or on-demand that update the data source.
I would like not to have to update the source data for the pivot table in my database. I've read that you can solve this by using a Dynamic Named Range and using that as the source for the pivot table. That way the pivot table will expand as new data is added to the database. The formula I used to create the DNR is:
