when I refresh data in a pivot table. Each time I click 'Refresh All' it alternates between a refreshed version (up to date with source) to an earlier set of data. This is concerning because operators will not be aware that they are not using the most up to date data 50% of the time.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file containing 50 sheets which we use as an accreditation test. Each sheet contains one question to which there are several possible answers. These answers (for example, A, B, C and D) are option buttons and when a user selects one, that selection is recorded as their response which is then marked. After answering a question they click a NEXT button to move on and as they move on the previous sheet (question) is hidden so they only ever see the current question sheet.
This has worked well for us for a few years, but we have just noticed some odd behaviour on ONE SPECIFIC sheet. The option button the user selects on that sheet (it is actually question 13 in the sequence) is not stored after the test is completed. However on every other sheet, the selection is stored fine - just this one sheet. The properties of all objects on the rouge sheet are the same as the other sheets. I have duplicated a working sheet and tried replacing the question 13 sheet to try that, but the problem persists.
I tried deleting that Q13 sheet and running the test without it and the same problem occured but this time on the preceeding sheet (question 12) which suggests it is not the actual sheet that is causing the problem.
This is the vb code we have on each sheet
Option ExplicitDim Response As StringDim q13 As IntegerPrivate Sub cmdQ13_Click() q13 = 0
If optq13a.Value = False And optq13b.Value = False And optq13c.Value = False And optq13d.Value = False Then
Response = MsgBox("You must answer Question 13 by selecting one of the options!", 16, "More Information Needed !")

So in this example there are 4 option buttons and 1 command button. It is no different to the other 49 sheets
Will someone please tell me the difference (if there is a difference) between the following 2 lines of ....
View 6 Replies View RelatedI currently have several pivot table that's linked to a single pivot table(let's call it X) in the same workbook. I'm doing this to limit the file size because the data in X comes from a text file that has millions of lines. However, it's such a pain every time I need to update the tables because simply clicking "refresh" does not update those tables that are linked to X with new data. I would have to instruct the wizard in every linked table to point to X every time. I'm trying to write a small program to re-point to X for each of those other pivot tables whenever i refresh data. However, after trying to record the steps to do this I'm still unable to run these

I have enable Refresh on Open for my excel pivot table, but user need to click "Enable Automatic Refresh" , only solution i came across is to change the registry setting. Which i dont have access to edit registry(admin disable the access).
Alternate solution i try to use Access macro to automate the process and use Outputto save it as a excel file A. Then use excel file B to update pivot table from excel file A.(as excel A data is always latest)
The problem is i will get "....A file name already exist...do you want to overwrite.." prompt.
Which defeat the automate process.
Any other solution to enable the automatic refresh on open the excel workbook?
Or Access can overwrite the exist file or save it as another file name with timestamp ?
I upgraded to Excel 2010 from Excel 2000 a couple months ago. In Excel 2010, after double-clicking on values in a pivot table to create a new worksheets, I'm unable to highlight those worksheets and add a column to all of them. I was able to do this in Excel 2000... I can't figure out what's stopping it from happening for the life of me. Am I missing something obvious here?

I've used this code prior and it worked fine in Excel 2007, now I'm having issues with it. Originally every Pivottable & Query pointed to a different CSV file. Now I have two pivottables built off a Excel worksheet that is built from a Query. This allows me to do some complex lookups that I couldn't do with just the Pivottable and MS Query alone.

I am running XL 2008 on a Mac and have created a pivot table that works well. However, without VBA (and I don't know how to write in Applescript), is there a way to put a REFRESH button on my spreadsheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting visual basic to update a pivot table.
(using manual refresh on the same pivot works just fine).
I have recorded a macro of the manual procedure, but it fails to work when used in a visual basic program:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotCache.Refresh
I have tried using code presented elsewhere in these forums
eg http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/pivot-table-refresh.htm
but the table stubbornly refuses to update.
The pivot's source data range is dynamic and works fine.
I think I'm missing something obvious or I have have a bug.
I now have a Pivot table on my worksheet that works great, the only problem I have is I would like it to refresh my data at the push of a button. I now have to click on a cell where the pivot table data is>right click the mouse>select refresh data and then I get the updated info. I know you can install a button to to this exact same thing but I don't quite know how to. I need step by step instructions. I tried OzGrid search, but did not find exactly my need.
This is what I did thus far I opened my work book>click on data>then macros> record new macro>I got a pop screen>I named the macro Refresh_Pivot_Table>store to this workbook>click OK> I see at the bottom left of my screen that the macro is still recording> I then highlighted the Column of cells where the pivot table data is and then clicked>tools>macro>stop recording.
This is the point where I'm lost. What is the next step to do? When I go back to the cell where I began to start the macro and right click I don't get the option to create a text box so that I can make a button and assign the macro I just recorded. Is this the correct method or did I miss something?
I have a macro to refresh all pivottables in my workbook. Each pivottable source from the same data pool - in addition I have a filter on each pivottable. Is there a way to fix this filter, such that once the source data is updated, the filter doesn't change? Or to only refresh the "data" in the pivottable?
My code for refreshing all pivottables is given below.
Dim pvt As PivotTable
Dim sh As Worksheet
Application.Calculation = xlManual
For Each sh In Worksheets
For Each pvt In sh.PivotTables
pvt.RefreshTable
Next pvt
Next sh

Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
I have two pivot tables on the same worksheet, tied to different tables, but both have a "date" column. When I change the date in either tables Report Filter this code does change the page field in the other one, but the data does not refresh. My primary table is PivotTable2, once I can get this working I would hide that report filter in PivotTable1.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
PivotMacro
PivotMacro1
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I have written some simple VBA code so that on Sheet 4 I have a drop down list box to choose the month.
When the month is chosen by the user it moves to the active cell and changes the dates, as well as dates in some other columns (I used activecell.offset ....).
This code runs perfectly fine when I haven't refreshed the pivot tables in the workbook. But straight after a refresh, if I try and change the month it gives a run time error and gets stuck at the first instruction:
Sub cboMonth_Change()
Sheet4.Range("C2").Activate
Basically my search value is in B4 however to refresh pivot table
this is fine when I enter plain text within B4
I have trouble with an vba code using pivot tables

Case True
'invalid selection

I have a workbook that reports data on a daily basis within a month. I receive data daily from a different workbook and import the data for the day in its correct worksheet which has functions that automatically calculate everything I need, which then gets collected from a central worksheet which accumulates the "Total".
However, I have recently added 2 new pivot tables to my analysis, and apparently when i copy/paste the pivot tables to each new sheet, the data source is references the original sheet where the pivot tables come from.
I tried doing a dynamic name range, and that states the worksheet name in its reference as well.
How can I make a Pivot Table, gather the information from the same range $A$1:$J$5000, but only for the sheet in which the Pivot Table lies.
The sheets are labeled by the day of the month.
So, data for February 1, 2009 is worksheet "1"
February 14, 2009 is "14"
without the ""
I have a Pivot Table feeding a chart that needs specific formatting
However, after a Pivot Table refresh, the chart loses any custom formatting and returns to the default formatting.
(I know I can create custom user-defined charts but I don't want to do that here)
What I would like to happen is for a (chart formatting) macro to automatically run after a pivot table refesh occurs. It should only occur on the one worksheet that contains the Pivot Table and associated chart and should run the macro after a refresh REGARDLESS of whether the data within the table was updated or not.
I have an existing pivot table that is feeding from data in another sheet.
The data gets updated every month and sometimes their are more columns of data than the previous month. Everytime there are more columns they are not added into the pivot table when i refresh the table even though they are included in the range.
Is there are way the pivot table will add these new columns when i refresh the table without me having to manually drag them in?
I 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.
A simple example of the problem: Imagine a pivot table has two pagefields at the top. The first list the gender ("boy" or "girl"). The second one below it lists people's names. How can it be programmed so that when the first (gender) filter is selected to "boy", pagefield 2 (the names) will only display the names of boys. So I would like the pagefield to work like regular multiple filters would. (And not list every possible item for all)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a very strange problem with a pivot table in Excel 2007. The source data is in a table in another workbook, stored on a shared network drive. We have 7 PCs in our office, and on 6 of them the pivot table refreshes fine. On the other, it always comes up with an error message that the reference is not valid, even if the source workbook is open. This particular PC is connected by a cable, so it can't be a wireless network problem.
All the PCs have got all updates installed, and as far as I can see the Trust Centre settings are the same (the problem PC can run macros from the same folder without problems). The really annoying thing is that the user of the problem PC is the only person who actually needs to refresh the data as part of her job.
In sheet1 (SA Awards) I have the source table for my pivot table in Range ("A1:G50"). In sheet2 (Team Listing) my pivot table is located in Range("K2:S13")
When I make changes in sheet1 I need my pivot table to update, I recorded a macro to refresh, however have only got it to work via a button & only if Sheet2 is unlocked
Sub PivotTableUpdate()
Sheets("Team Listing").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable8").PivotCache.Refresh
Sheets("SA Awards").Select
Range("B2").Select
End Sub
1. How can I get this to work in the Worksheet_Change Event?
2. How can I password protect Sheet2 & still have it work?
I have some code that runs and loops through each pivot table to refresh it; however, I remmed out the code so that it only loops once - telling it to refresh the first pivot; the thing I'm confused about is that after the code runs, it appears to have refreshed all my pivots. I think it's also important to note the each pivot table is linked to the same data source. (an external ds)
Maybe when this is the case, refresh will always refresh all?
I have a pivot table report connected to an external data source (OLAP cube).I want to automatically refresh the pivot table report everytime the OLAP cube data changes.
I know we can use Automatic refresh on open of workbook or time intervals after which to refresh .But i want the auto refresh to work even if the workbook is already open and there is no definite time interval after which the cube is likely to change.SO,by defining intervals for auto refresh i do not intend to waste time refreshing even if there is no change.
There are multiple pivot table reports and pivot charts connected to the same OLAP cube.
I can't understand why my rate1() function (my macro) doesn't work properly. While I'm dragging M5 cell in Sheet2 down to M14 cell it gives the wrong result.
Even when I change value in Sheet1 and refresh data of pivot table in Sheet2, my function rate1() isn't updated. But my problem is solving (getting the correct result) when I'm going Edit Mode (pressing function key F2) in active Cell M5 or M6 or M7..so on and pressing Enter each time.
I am currently taking over a workbook from a colleague that contains 10 pivot tables. Spaced out over a few sheets.
Each pivot table contains a lot of information and my current workaround to refreshing them all is..
Step1:Refresh 2 Pivots,
Step2:Save and Close document,
Step3: Re-Open document and repeat Steps 1 & 2 until all refreshed.
I was wondering if there was any kind of code to clear the memory space being used by the pivots thus leaving the hard coded information behind.
That way I can just write some vb to refresh all the pivots and not keep saving and re-opening the document which takes sometime as its on a network drive.
I often use the same file/pivot table for both month and weekly reporting. In my source data my field headers show 1,2,3,4..etc. This way I can use for month or weekly. But I often change the "Custom" name on the Field Value Settings to something more descriptive like "Jan" or "Week1"
The problem is that each time I update the the "Custom" name the Pivot Table auto refreshes and it takes forever to re-label all the columns.
Is there a way to suppress this refresh when updating the Custom Field Name?

If a user changes some data in a pivot table and then refreshes the table, the changed values are supposed to revert to the source data, right? This does not happen in my pivot table.
Any changes made in the underlying data get transferred to the pivot table refresh, as expected. But if I change some values in the pivot table, followed by a refresh, then the cells that I changed remain the same unless I happened to modify the corresponding values in the underlying source data too. In other words, the refresh operation does not touch the pivot table except specifically where an update is driven by a change in the underlying data.
This behavior is different from what i remember from, say, excel 97 / 2000.
