Macro to select dates in the page field of a pivot table
 

The below macro is suppose to create a sheet, add a pivot table and
then a data table that looks up pivot table data. Everything works
great except that the pivot table needs to be limited to data with a
specific date based on a cell entered by the user. The relavent lines
contain the variable B. I have tried defining B as a date and setting
the pivotfield = to the input cell directly. I have succesfully used
similar code with numbers such as 19. Is there something different
about dates?

Thanks!

Sub LFMStates()

X = "States"
Y = "LFM States breakout"
Z = "LFMStates"
A = "States!R3C10"
B = Worksheets("Input").Range("G7").Value
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Set wSheet = Worksheets(X)
If wSheet Is Nothing Then
Sheets.Add.Name = X
Sheets(X).Select

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Graphs").PivotTables("P ivotTable1").PivotCache.

Macro to select dates in the page field of a pivot table
 

since your cache is already populated with data, in the resulting pivot
table, you can use a pagefield with your date column and set the value to
the date provided by the user.

Macro to select dates in the page field of a pivot table
 

Isn't that what I'm doing on the line:

..PivotFields("Valued As Of Date").Orientation = xlPageField

When I step into the macro the page field is created, when I try to use
these lines to select a date, but nothing happens:

B = Worksheets("Input").Range("G7").Value
ActiveSheet.PivotTables(X).PivotFields("Valued As Of Date").CurrentPage
= B

I have checked that my date in Worksheets("Input").Range("G7") is date,
not text that looks like a date. I also tried make the date in that
cell a text date.

Any other ideas?
