either

Set SourceSh = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheet("WorksheetNames")

or reference a specific open workbook

Set SourceSh = Workbooks("Myworkbook.xls").Worksheets("WorksheetN ames")

However, since you want to select the sheet, I would assume you are working
with the activeworkbook. If not, then instead of

Sheets("WorksheetNames").Select

( or even SourceSh.Select )

use
Application.Goto Reference:=SourceSh

I get error

Method or data member not found

on this line

Set SourceSh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheet("WorksheetNames")

The source code is in personal.xls and I'm using another workbook.

Your first couple of lines are confusing. If you already have a sheet
with
a tab name of WorksheetNames then


Dim SourceSh as Worksheet
Set SourceSh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheet("WorksheetNames")
Sheets("WorksheetNames").Select
Debug.Print Last
Last = LastRow(SourceSh)
Debug.Print Last

If not and you want to rename it to WorksheetNames, then how are you
determining which sheet to work with?

I need some help fixing some code. I'm still learning about VB so
hopefully, this will be easy for someone else.

I'm trying to create a pivot table from a list of cells with a
variable
length. I'm trying to use the LASTROW function from Ron DeBruin and
I
can't
seem to get it to work. I want the LASTROW function to look at data
in
worksheet "WorksheetNames"

Set SourceSh = ThisWorkbook.WorksheetNames
SourceSh.Name = "WorksheetNames"
Sheets("WorksheetNames").Select
Debug.Print Last
Last = LastRow(SourceSh)

Debug.Print Last
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatab ase,
SourceData:= _
"WorksheetNames!$A$1:$C$" & Last).CreatePivotTable
TableDestination:="", TableName:= _
"PivotTable1", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10


Thanks in advance,

Barb Reinhardt
