This is the code I'm using:
Code:
Sub a_Recalc_Pivot_Table()
    ' Macro to recalculate Pivot Table.
    ' 2/7/12 Modified. WML    '
    ' 7/29/19 Copied from "Offfice Development Center". WML

    Call Initialize_Globals
    
    Data.Activate
    
    'Determine the data range you want to pivot
    Rng = Make_Range(Data_Row, 1, -1, -1, Data)
    SrcData = "Data" & "!" & Range(Rng).ADDRESS(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)
     
    DataArea = "Data!R2C1:R" & Selection.Rows.Count & "C" & Selection.Columns.Count
     
    Sheets("Pivot Table").PivotTables("PivotTable3").ChangePivotCache ActiveWorkbook. _
        PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=DataArea, _
        Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14)
        
    PIVOT.Activate
    
End Sub ' a_Recalc_Pivot_Table

It works when I add data to DATA, and I can run it any number of times then.
But when I shorten the amount of data it dies saying
Code:
Run-Time Error '-2147024809 (80070057)

The PivotTable field name is not valid.  To creat a  PivotTable report,
you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns.  If
you are changing the name of the PivotTable Field, you must type
a new name for the field.

But I haven't changed any field names, only deleted some of the data
to check that the routine is working correctly.

Thanks for any help.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
This is a Macro (and a few subroutines) to let you "Regenerate" your Pivot Table with new data.
Code:
Sub a_Recalc_Pivot_Table()
    ' Macro to recalculate Pivot Table.
    ' 2/7/12 Modified. WML    '
    ' 7/29/19 Copied from "Offfice Development Center". WML

    Call Initialize_Globals
    
    Rng = Make_Range(DatLabelRow, 1, -1, -1, DATA) ' "A3:Q972"
    Call Recalc_Pivot_Table("Data", Rng, "Pivot Table", 1, 1)
    
End Sub ' a_Recalc_Pivot_Table

Sub Recalc_Pivot_Table(Sheet_Spec, Rng, Pivot_Sheet_Name, Pivot_Table_Number, Starting_Col_Nr)
    ' Recalculate a Pivot Table

If you use this, could you let me know how it worked for you.
