Dim Sheet as WorkSheet, Pivot as PivotTable
For Each Sheet in ThisWorkbook.WorkSheets
For Each Pivot in Sheet.PivotTables
Pivot.RefreshTable
Pivot.Update
Next
Next
This VBA code will refresh all pivot tables/charts in the workbook.
Sub RefreshAllPivotTables()
Dim PT As PivotTable
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
For Each PT In WS.PivotTables
PT.RefreshTable
Next PT
Next WS
End Sub
Another non-programatic option is:
Right click on each pivot table
Select Table options
Tick the 'Refresh on open' option.
Click on the OK button
This will refresh the pivot table each time the workbook is opened.
In certain circumstances you might want to differentiate between a PivotTable and its PivotCache. The Cache has it's own refresh method and its own collections. So we could have refreshed all the PivotCaches instead of the PivotTables.
The difference? When you create a new Pivot Table you are asked if you want it based on a previous table. If you say no, this Pivot Table gets its own cache and doubles the size of the source data. If you say yes, you keep your WorkBook small, but you add to a collection of Pivot Tables that share a single cache. The entire collection gets refreshed when you refresh any single Pivot Table in that collection. You can imagine therefore what the difference might be between refreshing every cache in the WorkBook, compared to refreshing every Pivot Table in the WorkBook.
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll refreshes everything, not only the pivot tables but also the ODBC queries. I have a couple of VBA queries that refer to Data connections and using this option crashes as the command runs the Data connections without the detail supplied from the VBA
I recommend the option if you only want the pivots refreshed
Sub RefreshPivotTables()
Dim pivotTable As PivotTable
For Each pivotTable In ActiveSheet.PivotTables
pivotTable.RefreshTable
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim PvtTbl As PivotTable
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
For Each PvtTbl In Worksheets("Sales Details").PivotTables
PvtTbl.RefreshTable
Next
End Sub
works fine.
The code is used in the activate sheet module, thus it displays a flicker/glitch when the sheet is activated.
Even we can refresh particular connection and in turn it will refresh all the pivots linked to it.
For this code I have created slicer from table present in Excel:
Sub UpdateConnection()
Dim ServerName As String
Dim ServerNameRaw As String
Dim CubeName As String
Dim CubeNameRaw As String
Dim ConnectionString As String
ServerNameRaw = ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_ServerName").VisibleSlicerItemsList(1)
ServerName = Replace(Split(ServerNameRaw, "[")(3), "]", "")
CubeNameRaw = ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_CubeName").VisibleSlicerItemsList(1)
CubeName = Replace(Split(CubeNameRaw, "[")(3), "]", "")
If CubeName = "All" Or ServerName = "All" Then
MsgBox "Please Select One Cube and Server Name", vbOKOnly, "Slicer Info"
Else
ConnectionString = GetConnectionString(ServerName, CubeName)
UpdateAllQueryTableConnections ConnectionString, CubeName
End If
End Sub
Function GetConnectionString(ServerName As String, CubeName As String)
Dim result As String
result = "OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP.5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=" & CubeName & ";Data Source=" & ServerName & ";MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Update Isolation Level=2"
'"OLEDB;Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=" & CubeName & ";Data Source=" & ServerName & ";Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collation when possible=False"
GetConnectionString = result
End Function
Function GetConnectionString(ServerName As String, CubeName As String)
Dim result As String
result = "OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP.5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=" & CubeName & ";Data Source=" & ServerName & ";MDX Compatibility=1;Safety Options=2;MDX Missing Member Mode=Error;Update Isolation Level=2"
GetConnectionString = result
End Function
Sub UpdateAllQueryTableConnections(ConnectionString As String, CubeName As String)
Dim cn As WorkbookConnection
Dim oledbCn As OLEDBConnection
Dim Count As Integer, i As Integer
Dim DBName As String
DBName = "Initial Catalog=" + CubeName
Count = 0
For Each cn In ThisWorkbook.Connections
If cn.Name = "ThisWorkbookDataModel" Then
Exit For
End If
oTmp = Split(cn.OLEDBConnection.Connection, ";")
For i = 0 To UBound(oTmp) - 1
If InStr(1, oTmp(i), DBName, vbTextCompare) = 1 Then
Set oledbCn = cn.OLEDBConnection
oledbCn.SavePassword = True
oledbCn.Connection = ConnectionString
oledbCn.Refresh
Count = Count + 1
End If
Next
Next
If Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to update", vbOKOnly, "Update Connection"
ElseIf Count > 0 Then
MsgBox "Update & Refresh Connection Successfully", vbOKOnly, "Update Connection"
End If
End Sub
