Filtering a field in a PivotTable using VBA can be accomplished by manipulating the PivotTables and PivotFields objects. Below is a step-by-step guide along with sample code to help you achieve this:
Steps
- Identify the PivotTable: Determine the worksheet and the PivotTable you want to work with.
- Access the PivotField: Get the PivotField you need to filter on.
- Apply the Filter: Use the `PivotFilters` method to set the criteria for filtering.
Sample VBA Code
Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates how to filter a field in a PivotTable:
Sub FilterPivotTableField()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim filterValue As String
' Set worksheet containing the PivotTable
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") ' Adjust sheet name as necessary
' Reference the PivotTable
Set pt = ws.PivotTables("PivotTable1") ' Adjust PivotTable name as necessary
' Reference the PivotField you want to filter
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("FieldName") ' Replace "FieldName" with the actual field name
' Define the filter value
filterValue = "YourFilterValue" ' Replace with your desired filter value
' Clear previous filters
pf.ClearAllFilters
' Apply the filter to the PivotField
pf.PivotFilters.Add Type:=xlCaptionEquals, Value1:=filterValue
End Sub
Notes
- Adjust the Worksheet and PivotTable Names: Make sure to replace `”Sheet1″` and `”PivotTable1″` with the actual names used in your Excel file.
- Specify the Correct PivotField: Replace `”FieldName”` with the name of the field you want to filter.
- Choose the Correct Filter Value: Set `filterValue` to the criterion you need. If filtering based on other criteria (e.g., greater than, less than), modify the `Type` parameter accordingly.
- PivotFilters Type: This example uses `xlCaptionEquals` for an equal-to filter. Adjust the `Type` to other options if needed, such as `xlCaptionDoesNotEqual`, `xlCaptionStartsWith`, etc.
- Error Handling: Consider adding error-handling code, especially if your specified sheet, PivotTable, or field might not exist, which could raise runtime errors.
This code may serve as a starting point, and you can enhance or modify it further according to your specific requirements.
