Pivot Table Field
 

Hi All,

I have a spreadsheet that contains sales by sales rep. Its very simple, I
have the sales rep name and the total sales for the year, which is a simple
sumif from a data list.
But what I want is to create a macro where you select the sales rep ID and
click a button and a pivot table opens in a new workbook showing the sales by
period (months). I'm almost there the only problem I can not figure out is
how to set the pivot table field to show only the information for the
selected sales rep. I have tried recording a macro to see how to do it but
all I get is this

Sub Macro1()

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields ("Employee")
.PivotItems("Ian Smith").Visible = False
.PivotItems("John Smith").Visible = False
.PivotItems("Nat Li").Visible = False
.PivotItems("Vivien Soul").Visible = False
End With

End Sub

With the one I have picked not in the list hence the property would be
visible=true.
Is there any way I can get the macro to say hide all except the chosen one,
as the list of sales reps constanty changes.


All help is greatly appreciated

Naz

Pivot Table Field
 

Assuming this is a page field, you could use code similar to the following:

'=========================
Sub PivotOneEmp()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim strEmp As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("Employee")
strEmp = ActiveSheet.Range("F2").Value

For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
pi.Visible = True
Next pi

pf.CurrentPage = strEmp

For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
If pi.Name = strEmp Then
pi.Visible = True
Else
pi.Visible = False
End If
Next pi

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
