I recorded a macro of creating a new PivotTable (XL 2007), adding a couple
of fields, and the following was recorded. I added just one line (commented
below), to assure that the sheet created when the macro was played would
have the same name as when the macro was recorded. Then, i deleted the
sheet that was created when the macro was recorded, so i could test running
the macro (in other words, workbook now back to what it was like when the
macro was recorded).
When i recorded the macro, the resultant PivotTable has one row field and
one data field, as you would expect reading the recorded code.
When i play back the code, the resultant PivotTable only has a DataField, in
other words it is a one-cell PivotTable. In the playback, the row field
disappears. In fact, i can see this if i step thru it during playback and
look at the sheet. After the RowField is added, i see it on the PivotTable.
But, after the AddDataField method is finished, the RowField is removed, and
only a DataField remains.
Does anybody know what is going on here? Is this a BUG? I just want to be
able to play back the macro and have it work.
Thanks, Tom
