Hi all, sorry for the basic nature of this one but I'm just not up to scratch on macros yet! I have a pivot chart which, of course, doesn't hold it's formatting. I have recorded a macro which puts the chart back the way I want it, except that I want the macro to execute automatically when any of the pivot fields are changed (eg when the user selects a specific page field).

How do I do this? I've seen something like "Private Sub Chart_Change" but it has this "(ByVal)" bit which I don't understand after it, and I don't know if I need this or how to apply it to my chart.

Thanks in advance!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Use this event handler:
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
    Enter your macro here
End Sub

I've managed to get the solution, and here it is:

First, I right mouse clicked on the sheet tab where the pivotchart was, then selected view code.

Then, in the Object Box, I selected "Chart". Next, in the Declarations box, I selected "Calculate".

Finally, I copied my previously recorded macro into that and it works a treat!! Everytime a user changes the page fields in the pivot table, the formatting updates automatically!

Thanks for your help,
Jane
