Run-time Error 5: Invalid Procedure - Changing Pivot Table Source

[JD728]

Hi,
I'm getting the "Run-time error '5': Invalid Procedure call or argument at the line below in blue: PT1.ChangePivotCache ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=PTSourceRngFcst, Version:=6)

These are the values of the cells listed in the code:
G24 = \\hguwarps03\WarrenData\Finance\MANAGEMENT_REPORTS\Reforecast 2019\P06_19-Jun Reforecast\
G25 = fncl-analysis-data_May-29.xlsx
G26 = L:\Finance\MANAGEMENT_REPORTS\Reforecast 2019\P06_19-Jun Reforecast\[fncl-analysis-data_May-29.xlsx]fncl-analysis-data

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

PTSourceRngFcst should be a range reference, not a string.

Thanks Norie. I changed it to Range, however now I get the Run-time error '91': Object Variable or With block variable not set at the line: PTSourceRngFcst = PTSourcePathFcst & "!" & rng.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)

What am I doing wrong?

Same problem, this will return a string.

PTSourcePathFcst & "!" & rng.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)

Is rng a reference to the range you want to create the pivot cache from?

PTSourcePathFcst & "!" & rng.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)

Is rng a reference to the range you want to create the pivot cache from?

Yes. It's the full path and array for the SourceData for the Pivot Table.

 

[JD728]

I'm basically trying to define the path and range of cells for the SourceData when trying to change the source of the Pivot Table. Thanks for your help!

 

[Norie]

Is the source workbook open?

Is rng an object variable that refers to the source range for the pivot cache?

If it is, does this work?

PT1.ChangePivotCache ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=rng, Version:=6)

PT1.ChangePivotCache ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=rng, Version:=6)

Yes, the source workbook is open. Rng is a Range variable that sets the range of the source file. Can I still use the code you provided?

 

[Norie]

If rng refers to the range that you want to use for the pivot cache that's probably what you should be using, why not give it a try?
