Pivot Items | Using Pivot Items In VBA

[mreman81]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manipulate pivot items based on whether they are present in the data. The below code errors because there happen to be no "Auto-Certified" items this month, but there often are, so I'd like to make the code dynamic enough to handle either situation.

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("MyPivot").PivotFields("Certification Status")
.Orientation = xlPageField
.Position = 1
.PivotItems("Auto-Certified").Visible = False '''''''''ERROR HERE
End With

Here's the code in context if needed:

Sub PivotCreate()

Dim PSheet As Worksheet
Dim DSheet As Worksheet
Dim PCache As PivotCache
Dim PTable As PivotTable
Dim DRange As String
Dim ShtName As String
Dim PName As String
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Integer


'**********SET UP DATA SHEET AND SOURCE DATA RANGE FOR PIVOT TABLES



ShtName = "Data"
Set DSheet = Worksheets(ShtName)

LastColumn = DSheet.Cells(7, DSheet.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
LastRow = DSheet.Cells(DSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
DRange = Range(Cells(6, 1), Cells(LastRow, LastColumn)).Address



'**********CREATE SUMMARY TAB & PIVOT


Sheets.Add Before:=DSheet
Set PSheet = ActiveSheet
PSheet.Name = "Summary"
PName = "SumPivot"



ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        ShtName & "!" & DRange, Version:=xlPivotTableVersion15).CreatePivotTable _
        TableDestination:=PSheet.Cells(1, 1), TableName:=PName, DefaultVersion _
        :=xlPivotTableVersion15

.PivotItems("Not Required").Visible = False ''''''''''THIS LINE FILTERS OUT THE "NOT REQUIRED" RECONS
End With

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables(PName).PivotFields("Period End Date")
.Orientation = xlPageField
.Position = 2
End With

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables(PName).PivotFields("Preparer Due Date")
.Orientation = xlPageField
.Position = 3
End With



'Insert Row Fields
