I have a workbook that has a lot of pivot tables in it. I currently have to
manually refresh each on in the standard method of right clicking on the
table and hitting refresh.

Is there a way to create a button that I can hit once and will refresh all
the tables at once?

On the PivotTable toolbar, choose the Table Options for PivotTable. Select
"Refresh on Open" checkbox.

You will have to do this for each PivotTable you have created, but you only
need to do it once. In future whenever you open the workbook, all the tables
will be refreshed!

Hope this helps.

Under view check the external data toolbar, there is a button on it that is refresh all.

Option Explicit
Sub DoThemAll()
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub

You could add a button from the forms toolbar to any sheet (or all sheets) and
assign this single macro to all of them.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
