Macro Failure
Hi, I am not great with macros and can only get by with recording, not
actually writing VBA. I am recording a really simple macro which goes through 3 pages and changes the pivot chart Country to Belgium for example, then I need to go to a hidden sheet, unhide the sheet and refresh the pivot on that sheet, and hide the sheet again before I go back to the front page. Unhiding and hiding the sheet seems to fail the macro as I get a debug. Any ideas how to record a macro which has to refresh a pivot with a hidden sheet? ' Sheets("SUMMARY").Select ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable3").PivotFields ("Client ID Name"). _ CurrentPage = "XXX-BELGIUM " Sheets("ADV BOOKIND DAYS").Select ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields ("Client ID Name"). _ CurrentPage = "XXX-BELGIUM " Sheets("By Class").Select ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields ("Client ID Name"). _ CurrentPage = "XXX-BELGIUM " Sheets("FORMAT RAW").Visible = True ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields ("Client ID Name"). _ CurrentPage = "XXX-BELGIUM " Sheets("RAW DATA").Visible = True Sheets("Sheet1").Select It seems to stick at this line - 3rd up from bottom... ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields ("Client ID Name"). _ CurrentPage = "XXX-BELGIUM Any advice would be fantastic ... Many thanks Paula |

In each statement, you are missing the closing quote for your CurrentPage.
Add a " to the end of BELGIUM. Do so in each case. Regards, Fred. "Paula" wrote in message ... Hi, I am not great with macros and can only get by with recording, not actually writing VBA.

Macro Failure
Hi Fred,
the speech marks are at the end of the line further over - I think the screen is cutting off at the side but they are there, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. Any other ideas for hide and unhide sheets during a macro? Thanks again - appreciate your time. "Fred Smith" wrote: In each statement, you are missing the closing quote for your CurrentPage.

Hi,
FYI: There is no need to unhide and hide the sheets, just change ActiveSheet to Sheets("yoursheetname") Example: Sheets("Manual Grouping").PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields( "City").PivotItems("Dallas").Visible = False -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Hi, I'm really sorry - my macro knowledge is very basic (instead of visio
basic :-)) can you explain in my example what I am doing wrong, I need to unhide the pivot in the sequence to refresh but then don't want it to be visiable afterwards, is there something I am doing wrong in the recording sequence? Many thanks "Shane Devenshire" wrote: Hi, FYI: There is no need to unhide and hide the sheets, just change ActiveSheet to Sheets("yoursheetname") Example: Sheets("Manual Grouping").PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields( "City").PivotItems("Dallas").Visible = False -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Errata....
I wrote: You are trying to continue a line between an object (PivotFields) and its property (CurrentPage). My bad! Apparently whitespace is permitted after the period between the object and its property.
