Single Filter to change all Pivot Tables in a Workbook
 

Hello experts,
I've reviewed PT0021 Change All Page Fields sample Excel file (for 2007) on
http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html#Pivot and am still having trouble
with my complex workbook with several pivot tables/charts. I have found in
this sample file that it works when you choose an explicit value in the
filter, however when you re-set the filters back to 'all' or choose multiple
values, this does not apply to subsequent pivot tables and worksheets. Is
this only possible with explicit values in the main filter or can the code be
modified to work when choosing 'all'?

Also, my workbook contains several worksheets of data, and subsequent
worksheets of various pivot tables for each set of data. The field names
would be consistent across each worksheet of data, however in my ideal world,
I'd like one main set of filters for a main pivot table to control ALL pivot
tables on subsequent worksheets, which feed from a variety of data worksheets
(all in the same workbook). Am I dreaming? So far, Excel pros that I've
solicited help from using the sample file referenced above have not been able
to make this work. Thank you.

Hi Kathy

I think the problem is that (All) is not a pivot item when the code is
cycling through the list of items belonging to a field.

If you modify Debra's code to include the following 4 lines, then it
will do what you want

For Each pf In pt.PageFields
If pf.Name = pfMain.Name Then
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems

' inserted lines
If pfMain.CurrentPage = "(All)" Then
pf.CurrentPage = "(All)"
Exit For
End If
' end of inserted lines
If pi.Name = pfMain.CurrentPage Then
pf.CurrentPage = pi.Name
Exit For
End If
Next pi
End If

I will drop Debra a note of this change, and if I am correct, then I am
sure that she will modify her file on the website.

Hi Herbert

Regrettably, it fails each time for me with error 1004 on the line
pvi.Visible = b(r, p, 2)

Roger,
Could not duplicate error,
but the index numbers of the PTs were scrambled.
See Test().
Changed the line after
For u=2 to t
So now index numbers are ignored.
Same cloud link.
A collaboration on Kathy's #2 problem would be fun.

Hi Herbert

Still getting the problem.
It errors 1004, Unable to set the visible property of the pivot item.
It seems to me, that if the value of the item is already the same as
what it is trying to be set, then it errors.

Inserting 3 lines

If pvi.Name = b(r, p, 1) Then

If pvi.Visible < b(r, p, 2) Then
pvi.Visible = b(r, p, 2)
End If

End If

enables it to run through for me.

I still get problems though, as PT2 fails to get updated at all.
I think we had best take this off line.

The errors you correctly identified were dealt with
in the current version (find PT6).
Please download the file at the original cloud link.

Roger & Herbert - thank you both for your efforts. I apologize I didn't see
these replies sooner. If you're willing to collaborate and take a look at
the 'challenge' what is the best way to get you a file? It's likely large to
get you the full extent of what I'm trying to tackle. Thank you.

Did y'all ever find a way around the issue Kathy L had with PT0021? I adapted
the code for my 2 sheet workbook and added a button (as in following code).
However, I also see that when I enable &ldquo;Select Multiple Items&rdquo; in
a
pagefield and pick a few criteria, the &lsquo;slave&rsquo; pivots do not
follow
the &lsquo;master&rsquo;. Since I&rsquo;m bumbling along here, borrowing code
as
I can, I&rsquo;ve hit a wall on how to fix that. If you could give me a push
in
right direction, I&rsquo;d appreciate it. I also posted on the Microsoft
Development Network site as a question, and once I&rsquo;ve fixed, I&rsquo;ll
put that up too (of course giving Debra et al the original credit)! I&rsquo;m
hoping you have already addressed this and it won&rsquo;t inconvenience you
further to pass on to me. Best Regards, David Shugart
