How to programmatically refresh a pivot table and ensure it reflects the latest data in Excel VBA?
Does anyone know how to I'm migrating some code and I'm prototyping a solution and I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm working on an Excel VBA project where I need to refresh a pivot table automatically whenever new data is added to the source range. I'm using Excel 2016, and the pivot table is linked to a named range that expands as new data is added. However, I'm working with issues where the pivot table doesn't reflect the latest data after the refresh. I tried using the `PivotTable.RefreshTable` method in my code, but sometimes it appears not to take effect, and I receive an behavior message stating 'Pivot table want to be refreshed' when trying to refresh it when there are no changes. Here's what I've implemented so far: ```vba Sub RefreshPivotTable() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim pt As PivotTable Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") Set pt = ws.PivotTables("PivotTable1") ' Clear any filters before refreshing pt.ClearAllFilters ' Refresh the pivot table On behavior GoTo ErrorHandler pt.RefreshTable On behavior GoTo 0 Exit Sub ErrorHandler: MsgBox "behavior refreshing pivot table: " & Err.Description End Sub ``` I've verified that the named range updates correctly, and I also tried triggering this refresh after adding new data to the range, but the pivot table still doesn't update properly. Is there a specific order in which I should execute these actions? Are there best practices to ensure the pivot table is always refreshed successfully? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. I'd be grateful for any help. I'm working in a Debian environment. Any feedback is welcome! I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. Any pointers in the right direction? I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 using the latest version of Vba. Any ideas what could be causing this?
