Add Method (PivotCaches Collection) Example

Add Method (PivotCaches Collection) Example

This example creates a new PivotTable cache based on an OLAP provider, and then it creates a new PivotTable report based on the cache, at cell A3 on the active worksheet.

With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)
    .Connection = _
        "OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP;Location=srvdata;Initial Catalog=National"
    .MaintainConnection = True
    .CreatePivotTable TableDestination:=Range("A3"), _
        TableName:= "PivotTable1"
End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
    .SmallGrid = False
    .PivotCache.RefreshPeriod = 0
    With .CubeFields("[state]")
        .Orientation = xlColumnField
        .Position = 0
    End With
    With .CubeFields("[Measures].[Count Of au_id]")
        .Orientation = xlDataField
        .Position = 0
    End With
End With

This example creates a new PivotTable cache using an ADO connection to Microsoft Jet, and then it creates a new PivotTable report based on the cache, at cell A3 on the active worksheet.

Dim cnnConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstRecordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmdCommand As ADODB.Command

' Open the connection.
Set cnnConn = New ADODB.Connection
With cnnConn
    .ConnectionString = _
        "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
    .Open "C:\perfdate\record.mdb"
End With

' Set the command text.
Set cmdCommand = New ADODB.Command
Set cmdCommand.ActiveConnection = cnnConn
With cmdCommand
    .CommandText = "Select Speed, Pressure, Time From DynoRun"
    .CommandType = adCmdText
    .Execute
End With

' Open the recordset.
Set rstRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rstRecordset.ActiveConnection = cnnConn
rstRecordset.Open cmdCommand

' Create a PivotTable cache and report.
Set objPivotCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add( _
    SourceType:=xlExternal)
Set objPivotCache.Recordset = rstRecordset
With objPivotCache
    .CreatePivotTable TableDestination:=Range("A3"), _
        TableName:="Performance"
End With

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Performance")
    .SmallGrid = False
    With .PivotFields("Pressure")
        .Orientation = xlRowField
        .Position = 1
