I will start by saying I don't fully understand pivot tables but with the excellent help on here, I got one working in my old project. I am trying to replicate it now in a new project.

I want to create a PivotTable on a worksheet, using a table on another as its data source.

My "old project" looks like this:

VBA Code:
LRow = WS2.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
LCol = WS2.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set PRange = WS2.Cells(1, 1).Resize(LRow, LCol)

Set PCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=PRange).CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=WS1.Cells(4, 1), TableName:="FinalPivot")
Set PTable = PCache.CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=WS1.Cells(1, 1), TableName:="FinalPivot")

I tried to rewrite it like this:
VBA Code:
Set PCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=Ws2.Listobjects(1)).CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=WS1.Cells(4, 1), TableName:="FinalPivot")
Set PTable = PCache.CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=WS1.Cells(1, 1), TableName:="FinalPivot")

Here, instead of setting a Range on the source workbook, I just try to use the whole table instead. That failed with "Application-defined or object-defined error".

So I went back to the original code above, setting the Range as variable PRange using Last Row and Last Column parameters and I get the same error.

What is confusing me here is this is an exact copy/paste of existing code which works fine.

Can anybody see anything obvious here?

Edit to add:

The table is created, and the Data Source within the Excel program itself is absolutely correct.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Try the following...

VBA Code:
Dim PCache As PivotCache
Set PCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=Ws2.ListObjects(1).Range)

Dim PTable As PivotTable
Set PTable = WS1.PivotTables.Add(PivotCache:=PCache, TableDestination:=WS1.Cells(1, 1), TableName:="FinalPivot")

Hope this helps!
