Pivot Table - Dynamic Data Source range change via VBA

[FaraDmX]

Hi all,

Currently, I am working on the project with 7 different pivot tables stored on 7 seperate work sheets and the main sheet where i keep data extract. So I decided to use VBA that every time when I update my data extract to automate this process with the help of macros and VBA. I could compile a code that automatiocay captures newly added data and updates the pivot tables. However, every time I when i run the code for all pivot tables simultaneously, pivot tables disappear in the Report Connectios of Slicers. I checked that when I manually update data for all pivot tables I still can connect slicer to all of them, however, with current code, I can not see them in Report Connections window.

Could you please advise on that threat.
Thanks in advance!
BR, Fara

Create a defined name that dynamically covers data (adjusting automatically as data is added), like:
Defined name of MyData:
Definition:
=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA(A:A),14)
(14 columns wide)
Then use that as the source for each PivotTable ... on refresh they will include all data. I use the Refresh All ribbon button to update all PivotTables at the same time.

First of all thank you. Can you please provide a VBA code, how would it look like via VBA? I have to do it with VBA and macros. Thanks

Here you go:

Substantially reduces the number of Pivot Caches. Do not ament anything just copy, paste and run.

Sub changeCache()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pc As PivotCache
Dim first As Boolean
On Error Resume Next

    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        ws.Activate
        For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables

            If first = False Then
                Set pc = pt.PivotCache
                first = True
            End If

            pt.CacheIndex = pc.Index

        Next pt
    Next ws

End Sub

You are welcome.
