Default VBA to Update Pivot Table

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses - I thought the code was OK but couldn't work out
why it wasn't working! The pivot table name was correct too so I was VERY
confused!

I have rebuilt the source table and pivot table in a new workbook with the
same code etc and it works! Who knows, must be a little Excel gremlin!!! :)

Much appreciated,

Another option is to refer to the pivot table by index number, instead
of name, e.g.:

ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

instead of:

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")

Hi,

Can someone help me with my query - I really do not understand why this
doesn't work?!

I have a simple workbook with 2 sheets in in (sheet1 and sheet4).

In sheet1 I have a table of data with 4 fields (Business, PNR, Online,
Tickets).

In sheet4 I have a pivot table running from sheet1 which shows the page
field as business and then a summary of the others below.

I want a list box (validation list) in cell G1 to update the pivot table
page field (business) when I run my macro and I have been using the following
code in a macro:

Sub Alter()
Sheets("Sheet4").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields ("Business Unit
Name").CurrentPage = ActiveSheet.Range("g1").Value
End Sub

...When I run this macro I get the following error and i'm not sure why:

Run-time error '1004':
Unable to get th PivotTables property of the Worksheet class

Any help much appreciated..

Many thanks in advance for your time,
