Pivottable refresh problem

[Michael Anderson]

Hi there

I have code that is not refreshing a series of pivottables correctly. After
my code runs I have to right click on each pivottable and select "refresh"
(this works). I have pivottables that are reading data from a querytable.

When I debug and step through the VBA, all of the tables are refreshed
correctly. I've tried using (from
http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=626) an API declaration to
suspend operation for a specified time (Milliseconds):
"Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)"
within my for loop . As well I've tried the Application.Wait method within my
for loop. I've also tried to explicitly refresh each pivottable by code
individually. I've tried the Activeworkbook.RefreshAll method.



Public Sub RefreshData()
On Error Resume Next

'**Purpose: To Refresh QueryTables and Pivot Tables in this worksheet. It
refers to data
'**in Access tables. It requires that queries are refreshed.

'**Sub called by "button_Click"

Hi

I'd already done what you'd said.

Answer was ...

qt.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Thank You in Advance,

Your data needs to be in a sheet level named range and your PT needs to
refer to that range name as it's data source. Then ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
will work.
Named Range = "Database" Refers to =SHEET1!$A$1:$F$422 for example

Right-click your Pivot Table and bring up the Wizard. Click back one screen
to define your data source as Sheet1!Database.
Repeat for all data and pivot tables on all sheets.
