Updating Pivot Tables with latest data

Hi Guys


I'm trying to automatically update a pivot table by showing the latest source data (without the need to constantly keep selecting it). I have the below but it keeps falling over.

FileYear = Year(Date)
strFileMonth = Format(DateAdd("m", -1, Now), "YYYYMMDD")
FileDate = Format(Date - 1, "dd.mm.yyyy")
RateMonth = Format(Date - 1, "dd.mm.yyyy")

Sheets("PIVOT LDN").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotSelect "", xlDataAndLabel, True
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("FSDATE").CurrentPage = _
("ALL")
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("FSDATE")
.PivotItems("strFileMonth").Visible = True
End With
End Sub

Any advice on this?

Thanks

Freddie

Hi Freddie



Difficult to reproduce your question. Maybe send all the code or the workbook file to info@stl-training.co.uk


One thing to check. As strFileMonth is a variable I don't think it should have quotes around? See last line but one of your code.

Hi Freddie


Thanks for sending your full code. For the part where you are filtering the pivot table (last 3 lines) try replacing with this

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("FSDATE")
.NumberFormat = "yyyymmdd"
.CurrentPage = strFileMonth
End With

Hi Doug,

Apologies but when I run this I get a "Run time error 1004"

"Unable to set the NumberFormat property of the PivotField Class"

Are you able to advise?

Thanks

Freddie
