naming a pasted range in VBA

[miconian]

In the code below, I basically copy a region of data, paste it into another workbook, and create a pivot table.

I'm just not sure how to set up the source of the pivot table so that it covers the exact range that I pasted. TableDestination should ideally be a named range that is equivalent to exactly what I just pasted on Sheet1.

I guess I can do something with Selection, but was hoping to avoid Selection when possible for faster execution.

Also open to any other advice.

Thanks!

Sub createEstimates(currentName As String, dataSource As Range)

    Dim book As Workbook
    Dim dataSheet As Worksheet
    Dim pivotSheet As Worksheet
    
    dataSource.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:=currentName
    dataSource.CurrentRegion.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
    
    Set book = Workbooks.Add
    Sheets(2).Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    

    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        "Sheet2!R1C1:R10761C37", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12).CreatePivotTable _
        TableDestination:="Sheet1!R3C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", DefaultVersion _
        :=xlPivotTableVersion12

Is the data that you are posting varying in size or always the same amount of data?

It varies in size. Although it is, for the forseeable future, always going to be the same number of columns.

Are you posting this data into the same location every time? Then you can just select that cell, then:

Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

To specify the range?

I'm not sure that would make a difference. Having just pasted to the cells in question, haven't I already selected them?
