Filter a Pivot Table Based on Cell












0















I have used https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/950078-filtering-pivot-table-based-cell-value.html to create the code below but I am getting an error on



Set Field = pt.PivotFields("EmployeeName")



It is saying



Unable to get the PivotFields property of the PivotTable class



Even though EmployeeName is a field in my pivot table. Now I do have 2 databases in the Data Model that both have EmployeeName as a field and they are linked via a relationship. Do I need to specify which database I want to use and how would I do that? My script is below for reference.



Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

'This line stops the worksheet updating on every change, it only updates when cell
'H6 or H7 is touched
If Intersect(Target, Range("H6:H7")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

'Set the Variables to be used
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim Field As PivotField
Dim NewCat As String

'Here you amend to suit your data
Set pt = Worksheets("2018IndSales").PivotTables("PivotTable4")
Set Field = pt.PivotFields("EmployeeName")
NewCat = Worksheets("2018IndSales").Range("H6").Value

'This updates and refreshes the PIVOT table
With Worksheets("2018IndSales").PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields("EmployeeName")
.ClearAllFilters
.PivotFilters.Add Type:=xlCaptionEquals, Value1:=Worksheets("2018IndSales").Range("H6").Value
End With

End Sub
