I have data that is downloaded on a weekly basis, and am trying to create a
macro to create a pivot table for an end user who is not very Excel fluent. Because the size of the data will change each week, I used the information at Debra Dalgleish's web site: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot01.html However, when I try to run the Pivot Table wizard, and select the named range as the range to get the data from, it tells me "reference is not valid". I feel that I must be missing something, but have no clue as to what it is. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance!! |

Perhaps the named range includes a blank column. To check:
Choose InserNameDefine Select the dynamic range in the list Click in the Refers To box, and the range should be outlined with marching ants. If it's not the range you expected, you can adjust the formula. cursednomore wrote: I have data that is downloaded on a weekly basis, and am trying to create a macro to create a pivot table for an end user who is not very Excel fluent.

Worked like a charm, so now I have it so that it will run the macro when the
workbook is opened. Thanks very much! "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: Perhaps the named range includes a blank column.

Hi, I wonder if you could help me with the problem you had. How did you
incorporate the dynamic range into the macro for your pivottable please? My data comes from a file that is downloaded from another program so I would have to name the range in the macro. Is this possible, and if so would you be able to tell me how please? Thanks in advance.
