Hi Kris

Since you say you are running macros, could you not just ensure that
there is a single "row" of data by just writing a date to cell A2 of
the data sheet e.g. A2=TODAY()
Then, the count will still include just one "blank" row of data as well
as the headers, but the grouping will work because there will be a valid
date in row 1. It will not affect any future PT reports as all other
values in that row would be null.

Oooops, spoke too soon. The solution worked in the sense that it
produced a blank PivotTable without generating an error but it caused
a
problem with a date column in the PivotTable that's being grouped.

The PivotTable contains a date column that's grouped by Year and
Month.
Refreshing with a blank data source destroyed this grouping. My guess
is that this is because you cannot grouping a column with blank rows.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kris
