Example
This example creates a new PivotTable cache by using an ADO connection to Microsoft Jet, and then it creates a new PivotTable report based on the cache at cell A3 on the active worksheet.
Dim cnnConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rstRecordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmdCommand As ADODB.Command
' Open the connection.
Set cnnConn = New ADODB.Connection
With cnnConn
.ConnectionString = _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
.Open "C:\perfdate\record.mdb"
End With
' Set the command text.
Set cmdCommand = New ADODB.Command
Set cmdCommand.ActiveConnection = cnnConn
With cmdCommand
.CommandText = "Select Speed, Pressure, Time From DynoRun"
.CommandType = adCmdText
.Execute
End With
' Open the recordset.
Set rstRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rstRecordset.ActiveConnection = cnnConn
rstRecordset.Open cmdCommand
' Create a PivotTable cache and report.
Set objPivotCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add( _
SourceType:=xlExternal)
Set objPivotCache.Recordset = rstRecordset
With objPivotCache
.CreatePivotTable TableDestination:=Range("A3"), _
TableName:="Performance"
End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Performance")
.SmallGrid = False
With .PivotFields("Pressure")
.Orientation = xlRowField
.Position = 1
End With
With .PivotFields("Speed")
.Orientation = xlColumnField
.Position = 1
End With
With .PivotFields("Time")
.Orientation = xlDataField
.Position = 1
End With
End With
' Close the connections and clean up.
cnnConn.Close
Set cmdCommand = Nothing
Set rstRecordSet = Nothing
Set cnnConn = Nothing
