MaintainConnection Property 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. The example terminates the connection after the initial refresh.

With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)
    .Connection = _
        "OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP;Location=srvdata;Initial Catalog=National"
    .MaintainConnection = False
    .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
