Asking for some help with this code found thru google that I'm attempting to use on any pivot table. The goal is to be able to select any row item in a pivot table and then have a macro 'drilldown' to the last column for that row, similar to clicking all the '+' signs to expand that row item.
I'm currently getting a Run-Time error 438 at the 'Set pi = pt.ActiveCell.PivotCell.PivotItem' line. I believe the error is telling me that ActiveCell is not a valid reference in a pivot table, but I'm not sure how to correct the problem.
I can see that 'pt' is the pivot table name and 'ActiveCell' is the pivot table item name, but when I put the two together I'm getting the same error 438 at the 'msgBox pt.ActiveCell' line as I am at the 'Set pi = pt.ActiveCell.PivotCell.PivotItem' line.

TIA,
Don

VBA Code:
Option Explicit


Sub DrillDownToSpecificField()
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Dim pi As PivotItem
    Dim pl As PivotLine
    
    Set pt = ActiveCell.PivotTable
    MsgBox pt
    MsgBox ActiveCell
'    MsgBox pt.ActiveCell
    Set pi = pt.ActiveCell.PivotCell.PivotItem  '<<< Run-time error 438 here
    Set pl = pt.ActiveCell.PivotCell.PivotLine
    
    pt.DrillDown pi, pl
End Sub

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
In case others are looking for a similar solution, this is what I came up with.....assigned to buttons.

VBA Code:
Sub Expand()
    'declare a range object
    Dim myVariable As Range
    'set the value of range variable to active cell
    Set myVariable = ActiveCell
    'do something with the variable
    'Range("A13").Select
    'MsgBox myVariable
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Resource_Pool").PivotItems( _
        myVariable.Value).DrillTo "resources_requested_name"
End Sub

Code:
Sub Collapse()
    'declare a range object
    Dim myVariable As Range
    'set the value of range variable to active cell
    Set myVariable = ActiveCell
    'do something with the variable
    'Range("A13").Select
    'MsgBox myVariable
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Resource_Pool").PivotItems( _
        myVariable.Value).DrillTo "Resource_Pool"
End Sub
