Default Changing Names of Pivot datafields

Hi ALL


This is my first post, so excuse me for any faux pas on etiquette.

I'm creating various pivot tables by VBA code. For each datafield I
change the name so that the columns would not be too wide, and so that
I don't get the "Sum of " thing.


My methodolgy of changing the name relies on the datafield starting
with 'Somme' (Note that I use French excel). I notice that Excel 02 has
'Somme de ' meaning that my code comes to a halt. I have stuck in a few
lines of 'IF' statements relating to Excel version to remedy this.
However, this is not all encompassing, and doesn't help when I pass
some code to my colleagues not using French excel.


Does there exist a method by whereby I can return the datafield's name
irrelevant of which Excel version (French or otherwise), and based upon
the name of the field being summed (or counted for that matter).
Regards
