When I run the following macro, it comes back with "unable to get the pivot fields property of the pivot table class". Any ideas? Debugger hi-lights:

Rich (BB code):
    Cells.Select
    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        "'1_HC_INFO'!C1:C16").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="", TableName:= _
        "PivotTable5", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10
    ActiveSheet.PivotTableWizard TableDestination:=ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1)
    ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1).Select
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "PivotTable5").PivotFields("Headcount"), "Count of Headcount", xlCount    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("Count of Headcount"). _
        Function = xlSum
    With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("BusVal_1")
        .Orientation = xlRowField
        .Position = 1
    End With
    With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("Bus_val 2")
        .Orientation = xlRowField
        .Position = 2
    End With
    With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("Class")
        .Orientation = xlRowField
        .Position = 3
    End With
    Sheets("Sheet8").Select
    Sheets("Sheet8").Name = "OnePager_Pivot"
    Sheets("OnePager").Select
    Cells.Replace What:="#REF!", Replacement:="OnePager_Pivot!$A$3", LookAt:= _
        xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=True, _
        ReplaceFormat:=False
    Cells.Replace What:="#REF!", Replacement:="OnePager_Pivot!", LookAt:= _
        xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=True, _
        ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub


Thanks

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
i had to work with pivot tables a couple months ago and here is some of the code:

'this first part creates the pivot table:

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= "DataTable").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:= _
"Pivots!R4C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", _
DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10

in yours you have your "Destination" argument on another line.
try putting it in using the Sheet Name and R1C1 notation.

in particular maybe get rid of this line in your code:

ActiveSheet.PivotTableWizard TableDestination:=ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1)
ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1).Select

the rest looks similar to what i ended up with.

one of my data fields:

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").AddDataField _
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Capital Cost _
Estimate"),"Sum of Capital Cost Estimate", xlSum

a couple row fields:

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
.PivotFields("ProjectId").Orientation = xlRowField
.PivotFields("ProjectId").Position = 1
.PivotFields("ProjectId").Subtotals = Array(False, False, False, False,
False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False)

.PivotFields("Unit").Orientation = xlRowField
.PivotFields("Unit").Position = 2
.PivotFields("Unit").Subtotals = Array(False, False, False, False, False,
False, False, False, False, False, False, False)
End With
