Hello,

I'm new here and I was trying to write a macro that can create 2 pivot pie charts with a dynamic data range.
What I did was to record the macros to create a pie chart with connection only, then did some google searches how to express a dynamic data range. Unfortunately I have no code background... And when merging the codes I faced a problem.

Error line:
'Create 1st pivot chart: order category
With pvcache.CreatePivotChart(ChartDestination:="TR")
End With

----

My target is:
- create 2 pie charts showing categories (4 categories) and stores (10 stores) by means of 1 common items
- those pie charts have 1 dynamic data range. After new inputs, I suppose the charts will change automatically
- those charts are placed in 2 fixed boxes.

Please help me complete the code.

Thank you.

Please see the incomplete merged code as follows:

Code:
Dim pvcache As PivotCache

Dim pvfirstrow As Long
Dim pvlastrow As Long
Dim pvfirstcol As Long
Dim pvlastcol As Long

Dim pvsourcedata As String

Dim pvsourcews As Worksheet
Set pvsourcews = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("TR")


pvfirstrow = 19
pvlastrow = Sheets("TR").Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row
pvfirstcol = 1
pvlastcol = Sheets("TR").Cells(19, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column


With pvsourcews.Cells
    pvsourcedata = Range(.Cells(pvfirstrow, pvfirstcol), .Cells(pvlastrow, pvlastcol)).Address
End With


'Create pivot cache
Set pvcache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=pvsourcedata, Version:=6)

'Create 1st pivot chart: order category
With pvcache.CreatePivotChart(ChartDestination:="TR")
End With


With ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.CubeFields("[Range].[Order Cat]")
    .Orientation = xlRowField
    .Position = 1
End With
    ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.AddDataField ActiveChart.PivotLayout. _
        PivotTable.CubeFields("[Measures].[Sum of Work in hours]"), _
        "Sum of Work in hours"
    ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
    ActiveChart.ShowAllFieldButtons = False
    ActiveChart.ApplyLayout (7)
    ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementChartTitleNone)


'Create 2nd pivot chart: store

With ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.CubeFields("[Range].[store]")
    .Orientation = xlRowField
    .Position = 1
End With
    ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.AddDataField ActiveChart.PivotLayout. _
        PivotTable.CubeFields("[Measures].[Sum of Work in hours]"), _
        "Sum of Work in hours"
    ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
    ActiveChart.ShowAllFieldButtons = False
    ActiveChart.ApplyLayout (7)
    ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementChartTitleNone)
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
