2007 (compatibility Mode 2003)


In theory, a macro created by the recorder should run without issue as long as the correct objects
are activated/selected no?


The macro recorder records exactly:

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDa tabase, SourceData:= _
"Pivot of Transactions!R1C1:R2458C4", VERSION:=xlPivotTableVersion10). _
CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="Pivot of Transactions!R1C6", TableName _
:="PivotTable3", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10

If I copy that very code into a Sub(), I get an error #5
"Invalid procedure call or argument"

I am missing something obvious.

I know very little about creating Pivot Tables and less about coding it.
I have about 20 sheets in a MASTER.xls file and I need to build/create a
Pivot Table on each sheet with data from that sheet. I want to do this with
a For loop and therein lies my problem.
The following piece of code is the first part of a recorded macro that
creates a Pivot Table in a single sheet, "BIO", using data from column A:E
of that sheet and however many rows it has (11 rows in this case). Looking
at this code, one can see that the sheet name, database range, workbook
name, and destination cell are all fixed. To place similar code in a For
loop I will need to have the sheet name (2 places) and the database range
(R1C1:R11C5 in this one sheet) to be variables, say "ws.name" and
"PVTdbRng". The workbook name and the J3 destination cell will remain
fixed.
I have modified code of this type many times before, preserving brackets,
exclamation points, etc, but this code (after modification as above) will
error out with "Invalid Procedure call or argument."
My question: Can anyone modify this code as needed and/or direct me to a
source where I can learn more about this? Thanks for your time. Otto

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatab ase, SourceData:= _
"BIO!R1C1:R11C5").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:= _
"[MASTER.xls]BIO, !R3C10", TableName:="PivotTable1", _
DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10

Assuming the worksheets all have data starting in the top left corner,
you could use code similar to the following, substituting your field names:

'===================
Sub CreatePTs()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsPT As Worksheet
Dim strName As String
Dim strNamePT As String


strName = "Pivot_"
strNamePT = "PT_"


Set wb = ActiveWorkbook


For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
If Left(ws.Name, 6) < strName Then
wb.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
SourceData:=ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion).CreatePi votTable _
TableDestination:="", TableName:=strNamePT & ws.Name
Set wsPT = ActiveSheet
With wsPT
.Name = strName & Left(ws.Name, 25)
.PivotTableWizard TableDestination:=.Range("B4")
With .PivotTables(1)
.AddFields RowFields:="Year"
.PivotFields("Total").Orientation = xlDataField
End With
End With
End If
Next ws


End Sub

Next as a workaround for 2003. My concern is WHY? and what about xl 2007?

Using Debra's template I found success with XL 2003

AccountFileBook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlData base, SourceData:= _
Sheets("Pivot of Transactions").Range("A1").CurrentRegion). _
CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="'Pivot of Transactions'!R1C6", _
TableName:="PivotOfTrans", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10

Notice ... .Add( vs ... .Create( also notice the change after the SourceData:=
From: "Pivot of Transactions!R1C1:R2458C4"
To: Sheets("Pivot of Transactions").Range("A1").CurrentRegion)

So the above works for XL 2003

But what about 2007? AND Why the the actual sheet range not work?
