What's the difference

Hello...

I've got a question to 2almost similar VBA-code lines, difference a) is with "With / End With", b) is without :"With / End With" ....

a)

sourceDataValue = "Data!R1C1:R" & ResultRows + 1 & "C" & ResultCols

With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase)
.SourceData = sourceDataValue
.CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="R" & CreatePivotAt & "C1", _
TableName:=PivotName, _
DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10
End With

b)

sourceDataValue = "Data!R1C1:R" & ResultRows + 1 & "C" & ResultCols

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
sourceDataValue).CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="R" & CreatePivotAt & "C1", _
TableName:=PivotName, DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10

In my VBA Code, a) is not working, b) is working perfectly.

What is the reason for one is working and the other not?

The SourceData argument is required for the Add method of the PivotCaches collection if the source type is not xlExternal, hence the first code should fail.

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here

sorry for not taking care the rules. i am a newbie here.
well, i looked up the links, but still not sure how to set the tags correct for the VBA code above...
