The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VBA Programmatically Create Pivot Table
Zones: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, VB Database Programming, VB Script
Tags: Microsoft, Excel 2003, 2003, XP
Hi,

I am trying to programmatically create a pivot table to run from a macro button on a instruction page. I have attached my code. It is a recorded macro and it does not work. I recieve error 1004: Unable to get the pivotfields property of the pivot class. The error occurs at the following line    
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Program")

Why?  How do I fix this so that will create this pivot table with out any problems.

I deally I would like the pivots to exist on each respective sheet with pivot in the tab name.

Your selection is not good, also make use of CURRENTREGION instead of trying to select the columns. And the source of the pivot is the selection you make. So this should do the trick (worked for me, also do the same with the second pivot):
