Macro to Change Pivot Table’s CurrentPage

Topic

New Reply

Hello,

I have the following macro which changes the CurrentPage based on what is in cell A1 for TWO different pivot tables:

Sub Testing()
ActiveSheet.PivotTables(“PivotTable2”).PivotFields(“Expense Category”). _
CurrentPage = Sheet1.Range(“A1”).Value

ActiveSheet.PivotTables(“PivotTable3”).PivotFields(“Expense Category”). _
CurrentPage = Sheet1.Range(“A1”).Value
End Sub

I’d like to have the macro automatically run when cell A1 is changed. I’m trying to avoid having the user change the CurrentPage on BOTH pivot tables (or they might forget to change both pivot tables). Does anyone know how I need to tweak the macro to make it do this? Thank you!!

You could create a change event, by adding this the sheet1 module (warning aircode):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range(“A1”)) Is Nothing Then
ActiveSheet.PivotTables(“PivotTable2”).PivotFields (“Expense Category”). _
CurrentPage = Sheet1.Range(“A1”).Value
ActiveSheet.PivotTables(“PivotTable3”).PivotFields (“Expense Category”). _
CurrentPage = Sheet1.Range(“A1”).Value[/COLOR]
End If
End Sub

If the pivot tables are not on sheet1, change “Activesheet” to be the worksheet containing the pivot tables…

Steve beat me to it but this is tested code.

Code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

   Dim isect As Range
   
   Set isect = Application.Intersect(Range(“A1”), Range(Target.Address(xlA1)))
   If isect Is Nothing Then
     MsgBox “Ranges do not intersect”
   Else
     MsgBox “A1 Changed”, vbOKOnly + vbInformation, “Cell Changed”
   End If

End Sub

Just call your macro from the ELSE clause, after deleting both MSGBOX statements, or copy your code in the ELSE clause. :cheers:

Steve,

I thought I should just be able to use Target directly but it kept giving me errors (Excel 2007) so I made the adjustment shown.

RetiredGeek,
You should be able to use Target directly as a range (as I did in my code).

I can not test in XL2007, but the line:

Set isect = Application.Intersect(Range(“A1”), Target)

works for me in XL2010 and I recall it working for me in versions of XL previous to XL2007 that I used…

What was the code that gave the error?

Steve,

It gave me an Object Required message. :cheers:

I went back and tried it again and it worked. :confused:
I think I may have gotten that message when I tried to put it all in the IF clause. Probably goofed something I didn’t see. Thanks Steve.

Just idle speculation, but you may have gotten it in the IF if the ranges did not intersect and you tried using isect. When there is no intersection, isect is NOTHING so is not a range object…
