I have built my file in Access, ported to Excel and now opened Excel to add PivotTables. The pivot tables are working great.

I added charts but both are showing the same; as though they are working off the same pivot table. I need the 2nd to work off the 2nd named pivot table.

I call the code to build the second:
Code:
PivotThe2nd Lrow, NewWS, RST!Pivot2Pos, RST!PivotSheet, RST!Piv2Nm
' Last row in datasheet, current worksheet name, Position for the Pivot (not working yet), Named pivot sheet, pivot table name
Then the macro creates the pivot table and attempts to create the Chart.
Code:
Sub PivotThe2nd(LastRow As LongPtr, SourceSht As String, PivPos As Integer, PivSht As String, PivShtNm As String)
    Dim Qut     As String
    Dim PC      As PivotCache
    Dim shtSrc  As Worksheet
    Dim shtDest As Worksheet

    Set shtSrc = Sheets(SourceSht)  'ActiveSheet
    Set shtDest = Sheets(PivSht)
    
    Set PC = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
        SourceData:=shtSrc.Range("A1").CurrentRegion)
    PC.CreatePivotTable tabledestination:=Range("M3"), _
        TableName:=PivShtNm
    With shtDest.PivotTables(PivShtNm)
        .InGridDropZones = True
        .RowAxisLayout xlTabularRow
    End With
    With shtDest
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).AddDataField .PivotTables(PivShtNm).PivotFields("Order No"), "Count Order No", xlCount
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).PivotFields("Order Date Month").Orientation = xlColumnField
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).PivotFields("Lead Time Violation").Orientation = xlRowField
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).PivotFields("NATL").Orientation = xlPageField
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).PivotFields("NATL").CurrentPage = "Natl"
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).ColumnGrand = False
        .PivotTables(PivShtNm).RowGrand = False
    End With
    shtDest.Shapes.AddChart2(297, xlColumnStacked).Select
    ActiveChart.SetSourceData source:=PivotTables(PivShtNm) 'not working ESP?
    Set shtDest = Nothing
    Set PC = Nothing
End Sub
How do I will the chart to use the “PivShtNm” pivot for its data?
 

Excel Facts

Excel Joke
Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
This is more of an excel question, however, try qualifying the sheet name and adding in DataBodyRange:

Code:
ActiveChart.SetSourceData source:=shtDest.PivotTables(PivShtNm).DataBodyRange

I realized 5 minutes after posting that it was in the wrong place but got an error message when I tried to remedy.
