    Exclamation Changing grouping on one one pivot table affects other pivots - no good

    I have four pivot tables on four different sheets. when I use VBA to change the grouping on columns on one sheet, it also affects the other sheets. It also does this if I change grouping manually.

    Example:
    Three pivots are grouping columns by month (date columns).
    On the fourth table (on a separate sheet), I use the VBA code:
    With vSheetCtr.Range("B6") 'This points at the "JAN" title.
    If .Value <> "" Then
    .Group Start:=True, End:=True, _
    Periods:=Array(False, False, False, False, False, True, False)
    End If
    End With
    It works fine on that sheet, but it ALSO changes the grouping on two of the three other sheets. And it happens at the ".group" step.

    Anyone? Thanks -

    Replying to my own thread! I found it has to do with the pivotcache - if multiple pivot tables use the same pivot cache, the grouping (since it is associated with the cache, not the pivot) affects all pivot tables accessing the same cache. So - make multiple RANGE names for the source data even if the referenced areas are the same for all names. Then change the datasource for the pivots to use a different range name, and it separates out the groupings! (and other "stuff") Works like a charm.

    Closing the thread.
