Hi guys,

I have some code that does its job in adding datafields to a pivot table. I linked it with a form control button:


Code:
Sub PDA1P()
'
' PDA1P Macro
' Adds all 1P PDA columns into values of PT
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+P
'
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA Spend"), "1P PDA Spend ", xlSum
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA Sales"), "1P PDA Sales ", xlSum
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA ACOS"), "1P PDA ACOS ", xlSum
   With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA Spend ")
        .NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00"
        End With
   With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA Sales ")
        .NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00"
        End With
   With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").PivotFields("1P PDA ACOS ")
        .NumberFormat = "0.00%"
        End With
        
        End Sub

So the above works when I click on the button once and it adds the fields to my pivot table. But if I click it again, it gives me a run-time error, '1004' which is expected because its trying to add a data field that already exists.

Is there a line of code that can help me remove this error? Ideally I want this button to be pressed once and it will populate the pivot table, but if it is pressed again many times no errors wil lshow and the data fields will remain

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Welp, solved it myself. For those who are looking for a solution, I put this at the start of code:

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("SpendTable").DataPivotField.Orientation = xlHidden
