If you're creating the pivot table programmatically, when (and why) are
you right-clicking on the Data field?

In your macro, after you create the first pivot table, you can calculate
its width or height, and start the second pivot table outside that range.

Below is the code for a Sub Procedure that creates a Pivot Table. I posted
previously about the Base Item, but had a death in the family at the time
and wasn't able to get back on this project until recently. What I want to
be able to do is have the Base Item be the last date in the Weekending date
from an exported "Database". When I right click on the Data Field and
chose field it places the date as the first date, under (previous) and
(next). As a result the date is the first entry in the column field as
well as the last. Giving me a division error on the row data.

Also, I want to be able to create a second Pivot Table on the same
worksheet, based on the same Pivot Cache. I can create both separately, but
want a single macro to create both. Any help or information from the group
would be appreciated.
