Ok - I love this forum because all you people are so crafty! I am connecting excel to SQL server to import a database query and then I create a pivot table. I am going to create a simple macro that will refresh the Pivot table. The Pivot table will have about 3-4 items on it. Is there any VB coding I could use to select each item on the Pivot table to create a sheet and move it to its on workbook then save it to a folder. Also I will create a parameter for the dates to pull the info so if that could automatically save the date range to the file name.

Yeah basically I connect excel to SQL to pull commissions. My macro updates a pivot table with each sales rep on it so normally about 10-20 sales reps. From there he has to click on each of the sales rep to show the data. I wanted to include in the macro to automatically create a sheet for each sales rep (instead of him clicking on it) then automatically save it whatever the sales rep name is then put it in a specified folder. Not sure if that is possible at al.
Hi,
The following code works on the 1st page field of the 1st pivot on the activesheet:
- Creates a new book
- For each item in the 1st Page Field
- It sets the page to that item
- then copy/paste(values + format only) the resulting pivot to a new sheet of the newly created book
- moves to the next item
You can probably modify the code to fit your needs. Eg:
- set the new sheet name to the Page Item: wshD.name = pi.value
- request the book to be saved at the end: use Application.GetSaveAsFilen
I hope this helps,
Seb
Sub test()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField ''' Page field
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim WshO As Worksheet ''' Origin sheet
Dim WbkD As Workbook ''' Destination book
Dim WshD As Worksheet ''' Destination sheet
''' set pivot
Set WshO = ActiveSheet
Set pt = WshO.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PageFields(1)
''' create new book with single sheet
Set WbkD = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksh
Set WshD = WbkD.Worksheets(1)
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
''' set current page field
pf.CurrentPage = pi.Value
''' copy to destination sheet
WshO.Cells.Copy
WshD.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
WshD.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
''' add new sheet
Set WshD = WbkD.Worksheets.Add
Next
End Sub

Hi Brian,
Not sure I understand you question, specially the Pivot Item... Do you mean the pivot has a Page field and you to show the pivot for each item of the Page field and each time send the ouput to a new sheet?
If so, there used to be a Show Pages button which would do almost that.
Clicking that button would create one pivot table per sheet based on the main one... one for each item of the page field.
I cannot find the Show Pages anymnore, but the following code would do the same on the first page field of the first pivot of the active sheet. Try in the Immediate window,
activesheet.pivottables(1)
Now, that may be a bit too much if you have many items in that page field but that may get you going.
Regards,
Seb
