Hello,

I am looking for some help with powerpivot. I have a set of data which is organized in the format below (a sample of the data):

This data is lets say actuals by sales representative in each region and it relates to another budget and PY table with the same structure. I was able to consolidate all numbers using a powerpivot function and so far is being very helpful. However, every month I need to go manually and change the column of the month in which the pivot is reading. If for example is May, I have to change the month in the pivot field list and send back to users.
What I would like to actually have is an option to add control buttons and put them as a month and the user will be able to select the month and the pivot will update accordingly.

So I am trying to write this macro, but I am getting debug errors here and there reason why I kindly ask for your help. The code for example to change for the month of february is shows as below:

Code:
Sub February()
'
    Range("B4").Select
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Sum of Jan").Orientation = _
        xlHidden
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "PivotTable1").PivotFields("Feb"), "Sum of Feb", xlSum
End Sub

However, the code starts by hiding Jan and then add Feb collumn on the pivot. But if I dont have Jan or have any other month - the code cant start and it gives me an error.
Is there any way I can rewrite this code to make it automated and be like any month it can be switch by any month? Lets say i am in May and I want to go back and see Jan I am able to do it.

Thanks,
