Hello forum. As you all know, when you click on a field in a pivot table, it produces another page with the proof of the value you selected. I want to create a macro to hide certain columns and add headers and footers to make a report. I've recorded the macro, but I don't know what to write in the macro to make it run for the active worksheet. The macro recorder embedded the name of the Excel table that it was editing in the VBA code. How do I make it work with the active worksheet? I have to make 18 different reports each time I need this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the VBA Code from the recorder:

VBA Code: 
Sub Department_Roster_Report()
'
' Department_Roster_Report Macro
' Hide certain columns and add header and footer
'

'
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet32").ListObjects("Table9").Sort.SortFields. _
        Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet32").ListObjects("Table9").Sort.SortFields. _
        Add2 Key:=Range("Table9[[#All],[Last Name]]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
        Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet32").ListObjects("Table9").Sort
        .Header = xlYes

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Sort by date Sort by votes
At the beginning of your code


Dim PT As PivotTable
Set PT = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)

above this line
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet32").ListObjects("Table9").Sort.SortFields. _


Then change this line
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet32").ListObjects("Table9").Sort.SortFields. _

to
ActiveWorkbook.Activesheet.ListObjects(PT).Sort.SortFields. _

(Use REPLACE (ctrl r) to replace
Worksheets("Sheet32")
with
Activesheet

and then
"Table9"
with
PT

and to clean up your code... delete all of these lines...
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 21
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 20
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 18

You don't need to keep any Scroll lines

Does that help?

Thank you. I get a debug error at:

Set PT = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
