Auto-refreshing a PivotTable in Excel
To create a VBA code for auto-refreshing a PivotTable in Excel, follow these steps:
1. Open your Excel workbook.
2. Press `Alt + F11` to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
3. In the VBA editor, locate your worksheet by clicking on the appropriate sheet under "VBAProject (Your Workbook Name)" in the Project Explorer window on the left.
4. Right-click on the sheet and select "View Code."
5. In the code window that appears, you can use the following VBA code to refresh the PivotTable automatically when the sheet is activated:
```vba
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
' Define the PivotTable name (replace "PivotTable1" with the actual name)
Dim pt As PivotTable
Set pt = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetName").PivotTables("PivotTable1")
' Refresh the PivotTable
pt.RefreshTable
End Sub
```
Replace "SheetName" with the name of your sheet, and "PivotTable1" with the actual name of your PivotTable.
6. Save your VBA project and close the VBA editor.
Now, whenever you activate the sheet, the PivotTable will be automatically refreshed.
Remember to save your Excel file as a macro-enabled workbook (with the .xlsm extension) to ensure that the VBA code works properly.
