    Add/Remove PivotField upon ListBox Selection

    I wrote some code for a ListBox that aims at adding/removing corresponding PivotFields that are clicked within a ListBox. For example, when VOL 1 is selected in the ListBox, I want my PivotTable to add the VOL 1 PivotField item. If VOL 1 is deselected in the ListBox, I want my PivotTable to remove the VOL 1 PivotField item. VOL 1 is ListBox count item '0' and I will add additional ListBox items after I can get one to work. Here's my code:

    I get the following errors:
    Upon ListBox item selection: PivotTable field name already exists
    Upon ListBox item deselection: Unable to get the PivoFields property of the PivotTable class

    I'm sure this isn't a very difficult proplem to solve, but I have been unable to figure it out! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Why add it as a Count and then switch it to Sum?

    No reason for having count and then switching to sum. The macro recorder just recorded the code like that.

    I used your code and am still getting some errors, but if the errors weren't there the function would perform fine as it looks like the code is adding and removing the data.

    Hey romperstomper, I ended up using your code and adding the following line: On Error Resume Next. This fixed the issues with the debut window popping up. Everything is working fine now! Thanks again for your help.

    Re: Add/Remove PivotField upon ListBox Selection

    Hey romper, I really appreciate your help!! One thing I noticed with the listbox macro: as additional listbox items are selected, the code runs slower and slower (it takes longer and longer for the pivotfields to be displayed). This seems to only be happening with the items that require number format.

    Any ideas on what's slowing it down so much?
