Fill an array based on userform checkboxes?

[largeselection]

Hi,

I have a userform and I would like to update a pivot table based on selected checkboxes.

So I have some code which will edit the pivot table:

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Table1").AddFields RowFields:= Array("Name","ID","Age")
 
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Table1").RowFields("Name").ShowDetail = False
ActiveSHeet.PivotTables("Table1").RowFields("ID").ShowDetail = False

What I'd like to do is create an array to use with this and fill it based on whether a checkbox is selected. So if I have Name, ID, and Age checkboxes, I'd like to be able to select Name and age and then have the array be ("Name", "Age").

Also, I don't know how I could make the ShowDetail = False, since I won't know whether or not a field has been selected. Is it possible to just loop through all the rowfields (except for the last one) and say for each one to set showdetail = false?

Sorry I know that's 2 questions.

Thanks for any insight or ideas.

Hi,

This post might give you something to build on. It's similar except the user had ActiveX checkboxes instead of userform checkboxes.

This seems trickier than it ought to be. It would be nice to start by setting all PivotItems to False the setting the selected items to True. Unfortunately, Excel doesn't let you set them all to false even temporarily within your procedure.

The example at the link above showed one approach similar to what you suggested.

Hope this helps.
