Excel VBA Pivot Table Filter












0















I am trying to do a VBA code for Microsoft Excel to filter our a few items out of many (e.g. 3 items out of 100) from a pivot table. So far the method I've been using is by declaring items I do not want to be false such as:



.PivotItems("Item A").Visible = True
.PivotItems("Item B").Visible = True
.PivotItems("Item C").Visible = False
.PivotItems("Item D").Visible = False
.PivotItems("Item E").Visible = False


However this gets tedious in the future as there maybe more items added to the table and which means I would need to edit the codes every time there is a new item added.



Is there a way to filter out two or more items without using



.Visible=false 


such as



pf.CurrentPage = "Item A" + "Item B"

          You can use an array of items:



          Dim arr() As Variant

          ' Array of items to be kept visible (or hidden depending on your code)
          arr = Array("Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 2")

          For Each itm In pt.PivotFields("Value").PivotItems
          If Not IsError(Application.Match(itm.Caption, arr, 0)) Then
          itm.Visible = True
          Else
          itm.Visible = False
          End If
          Next

          You'll have to adapt pivot table and field names but this works on my test:



          Sub filter_pivot()
          Dim i As Integer
          ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").ClearAllFilters
          With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("CLCL")
          For i = 1 To .PivotItems.Count
          Debug.Print .PivotItems(i)
          Select Case .PivotItems(i).Name
          Case Is = "Item C"
          .PivotItems(i).Visible = False
          Case Is = "Item D"
          .PivotItems(i).Visible = False
          Case Is = "Item E"
          .PivotItems(i).Visible = False
          End Select
          Next i
          End With
          End Sub


          We're still using .Visible but it does not matter how many new items you add.
