You can't suppress the "All" option in the page field. With programming,
you could select another item if the user selects "All".

For example:
'========================
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Set pt = Me.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("Rep")

With pf
If .CurrentPage = "(All)" Then
.CurrentPage = .PivotItems(1).Name
End If
End With
End Sub
'============================

This code is stored on the worksheet's code module --
Right-click the sheet tab, and choose View Code
Paste the code where the cursor is flashing.

hi everyone!
does anyone know if it is possible to remove the "(All)"
or "(Show All)" from a pivot table.

here's a piece of my code for setting up the first
element of each pagefeild items, but I would also want to
remove the field "(All)"

With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add
(SourceType:=xlExternal)
.Connection = strConnection
.CommandType = xlCmdSql
.CommandText = "exec
fc_GetViewAsDenormalizedTable @View_id=" & intViewID & ",
@tableset=" & intTableset
.CreatePivotTable
TableDestination:=ActiveSheet.Range("A3"),
TableName:="PivotTable1",
DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10
End With

Set pt = ActiveSheet.Range("A3").PivotTable

For Each ptField In pt.PivotFields
If LCase(ptField.Name) < "data_id" And LCase
(ptField.Name) < "usertable_login" And LCase
(ptField.Name) < "view_id" And LCase(ptField.Name)
< "transfert_date" And LCase(ptField.Name)
< "control_code" Then
Select Case LCase(ptField.Name)
Case "cou"
ptField.Orientation = xlRowField
Case "country"
ptField.Orientation = xlRowField
Case "dcountry"
ptField.Orientation = xlRowField
Case "yea"
ptField.Orientation = xlColumnField
Case "year"
ptField.Orientation = xlColumnField
ptField.ShowAllItems = False
Case "data_value"
pt.AddDataField ptField
Case Else
ptField.Orientation = xlPageField
strFirstMember = ptField.PivotItems(1)
ptField.CurrentPage = strFirstMember
End Select
End If
Next ptField

pt.RowGrand = False
pt.ColumnGrand = False
pt.NullString = ".."
