Refresh Pivot Tables

Those of you that use pivot tables will be well aware of their power. However, one draw-back can be that you can only refresh the PivotTables automatically by setting it refresh on open via the PivotTable Options. Lets look at some ways we can refresh all, or chosen Pivot Tables.

The code below here can be called (Run) via the Worksheet_Activate Event. To get to the Private Module of any Worksheet right click on the sheet name tab and choose View Code. In you would place code like shown below;

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

    Run "PivotMacro"

End Sub

Refresh a Single Pivot Table

Sub PivotMacro()

Dim pt As PivotTable



    Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables("MyPivot")

    pt.RefreshTable

End Sub

Refresh all Pivot Tables in a Worksheet

Sub AllWorksheetPivots()

Dim pt As PivotTable



    For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables

        pt.RefreshTable

    Next pt

    

End Sub

Refresh Chosen Pivot Tables in a Worksheet

Sub ChosenPivots()

Dim pt As PivotTable



    For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables

    

        Select Case pt.Name

            Case "PivotTable1", "PivotTable4", "PivotTable8"

                pt.RefreshTable

            Case Else

        End Select

    Next pt

    

End Sub

Refresh All Chosen Pivot Tables in a Workbook

Sub AllWorkbookPivots()

Dim pt As PivotTable

Dim ws As Worksheet



    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

    

        For Each pt In ws.PivotTables

                    pt.RefreshTable
