Simulate "F2" and "Enter" with a macro triggered on a Slicer in a different work sheet

Hi Guys,

I am trying to simulate "F2" and "Enter" SendKeys event, on a specific cell "C1" in a specific Sheet "Past Login", which has 2 Pivots from a data source in a different workbook.

I have a Slicer pulling data from another data source in the same workbook. This slicer has dates and i need the change in date to trigger change in the pivots on "Past Login" sheets.

I tried connecting the slicer with those pivots but as they are from different data source, so no go.

I have now tried a different approach and have a code to change pivot filters on basis of a cell value change to a specific date, and that cell is pulling reference from another cell which in turn is changed on basis of slicer option selected.

This is the code I am using to change pivot filters:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Const strField As String = "Date"
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    If Target.Address = "$C$1" Then
        For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
            For Each pt In ws.PivotTables
                With pt.PageFields(strField)
                    .ClearAllFilters
                    .CurrentPage = Target.Value
                End With
            Next pt
        Next ws
    End If

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Now, to trigger this change, I need to press F2 and Enter on that cell every time to change the pivot filters. I need this to happen automatically when I select a specific date on the Slicer.

I tried below code to do it. but it only works when tried from the same sheet.

Code:
Sub AssignedDate3_Click1()
    Dim c As Range
        For Each c In Worksheets("Past Login").Range("C1").Cells
        c.Select
        SendKeys "{F2}", True
        SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
    Next
End Sub

While trying to do it from Slicer, its gives the error:

Run-time error '1004':
Select method of Range class failed

Please help with this.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
