vba to add fields to pivot table, needs work

[banneduser123]

hi, i'm using the below code to add fields to my pivot table. it works great, but my problem is it only works for one pivot table on each page.

can someone help me edit this so that if there are multiple pivots on the same sheet?

if it helps, i'm just using the code this guy created in the "Pivot Table Fields Macro Buttons.xlsm" file here:
https://www.excelcampus.com/vba/macro-buttons-pivot-table-fields/



Sub Toggle_Row_Field()
'Add/Remove the field to the pivot table.
'The field is determined by the button text that calls the macro.

Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim sField As String
Dim shp As Shape



'Set variables
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
sField = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text

'Toggle field
'If visible then hide it
If pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField Then
pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlHidden
shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0.5
Else 'Add to Rows area
pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField
shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
End If

End Sub

Try this

Sub Toggle_Row_Field()
  'Add/Remove the field to the pivot table.
  'The field is determined by the button text that calls the macro.
  Dim pt As PivotTable
  Dim pf As PivotField
  Dim sField As String
  Dim shp As Shape
  'Set variables
  For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables
    'Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
    sField = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text
    'Toggle field
    'If visible then hide it
    If pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField Then
      pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlHidden
      shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0.5
    Else 'Add to Rows area
      pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField
      shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
    End If
  Next
End Sub

Try this

Sub Toggle_Row_Field()
  'Add/Remove the field to the pivot table.
  'The field is determined by the button text that calls the macro.
  Dim pt As PivotTable, pf As PivotField
  Dim sField As String, shp As Shape
  Dim sName As String
  'Set variables
  For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables
    sName = pt.Name
    Select Case UCase(sName)
      Case "V5", "V6", "ETC" [COLOR=#0000ff]'not to touch these pivot table (capitalize names)[/COLOR]
      Case Else
        Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
        sField = shp.TextFrame.Characters.text
        'Toggle field
        If pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField Then
          pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlHidden
          shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0.5
        Else 'Add to Rows area
          pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField
          shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
        End If
    End Select
  Next
End Sub

I don't have any particular video.
When I have doubts I search on google


Glad to help you, thanks for the feedback.

Hey Dante, I added another pivot table to the sheet, and when i use the buttons now, i'm getting this error:

"Unable to set the Orientation property of the PivotField class"

do you know why?

Try this

Sub Toggle_Row_Field()
  'Add/Remove the field to the pivot table.
  'The field is determined by the button text that calls the macro.
  Dim pt As PivotTable
  Dim pf As PivotField
  Dim sField As String
  Dim shp As Shape
  'Set variables
  For Each pt In ActiveSheet.PivotTables
    'Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
    sField = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text
    'Toggle field
    'If visible then hide it
    If pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField Then
      pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlHidden
      shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0.5
    Else 'Add to Rows area
      pt.PivotFields(sField).Orientation = xlRowField
      shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
    End If
  Next
End Sub
