Hi all,

I've encountered the error message (in title). I tried searching the web for a solution but with no luck.

the code segment that receives the error:

when the "set pt= ..." gets highlighted

without having anything else to test
only two things to suggest

did you put in worksheet variable for loadport?? if not then replace with Worksheets("loadport")

try it without Version:=xlPivotTableVersion15

ALSO
Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Click on Edit to open your thread, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Do you have any blank headers on the sheet, or invalid characters in row 1? Can you manually create a pivot table from the data on that sheet without getting the same error?

Ok So PT line instead of PC

PT line do you have a pivot table with that name already?

TableName:="LPPivot"

you can only have one pivot table with the same name at one time

Does this return the range you expect:

(I can leave the PT with the default style if it is a problem)

Use pt instead of ActiveSheet.PivotTables("LoadPortPivot")

Glad to help.
