Property let procedure not defined error when accessing PivotTable SourceData Property

Author: Jan Karel Pieterse MVP

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

The following code will show the symptom when run when a worksheet with at least one Pivot table is active:
�
Sub Demonstrate()
��� Dim oPivot As Object 'Note this line!!
��� Dim oSh As Worksheet
��� Set oSh = ActiveSheet
��� Set oPivot = oSh.PivotTables(1)
��� MsgBox oPivot.SourceData(1)
��� MsgBox oPivot.SourceData(2)'etcetera
End Sub
�
The code below does not show the symptom:
�
Sub DemonstrateOK()
��� Dim oPivot As PivotTable
��� Dim oSh As Worksheet
��� Set oSh = ActiveSheet
��� Set oPivot = oSh.PivotTables(1)
��� MsgBox oPivot.SourceData(1)
��� MsgBox oPivot.SourceData(2)'etcetera
End Sub
�
The basis of the problem lies with the declaration, when declared as an Object, the oPivot.SourceData Property cannot be accessed.
�
The problem also applies to Excel 97 and 2000.

Cause

Microsoft has confirmed this is a bug.

Resolution

A workaround (if one needs to declare oPivot as an Object rather than as a PivotTable object) is to use the Connection and the CommandText property instead of the SourceData property:
�
Sub DemonstrateWorkAround()
��� Dim oPivot As Object 'Note this line!!
��� Dim oSh As Worksheet
��� Set oSh = ActiveSheet
��� Set oPivot = oSh.PivotTables(1)
��� MsgBox oPivot.PivotCache.Connection
�� �MsgBox oPivot.PivotCache.CommandText 'etcetera
End Sub
