Way to automatically expand all pivot tables in a notebook?
- Jan 18, 2021
Hi byte99
Not my best work but something like this. You could either put this code in your personal macro workbook (and assign a short cut key, or assign it to Quick Access Toolbar button) for repeated use. Or (simpler to start with) press Alt F11 on your Pivot Table file and paste this code into the Workbook windowSub ExpandAll() Dim pt As PivotTable Dim pf As PivotField Dim pi As PivotItem Dim iFieldCount As Long Dim iPosition As Long Dim sh As Worksheet Dim wkbkTarget As Workbook Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set wkbkTarget = ActiveWorkbook For Each sh In wkbkTarget.Worksheets 'If there is any pivot table on the sheet If sh.PivotTables.Count > 0 Then sh.Activate 'Expand the lowest position field in the Rows area 'that is currently expanded (showing details) For Each pt In sh.PivotTables 'Create reference to 1st pivot table on sheet 'Can be changed to reference a specific sheet or pivot table. ' Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1) 'Count fields in Rows area minus 1 (last field can't be expanded) iFieldCount = pt.RowFields.Count - 1 'Loop by position of field For iPosition = 1 To iFieldCount 'Loop fields in Rows area For Each pf In pt.RowFields 'If position matches first loop variable then If pf.Position = iPosition Then 'Loop each pivot item For Each pi In pf.PivotItems 'If pivot item is collapsed then If pi.ShowDetail = False Then 'Expand entire field pf.ShowDetail = True 'Exit the loop GoTo NextPT End If Next pi End If Next pf 'If the Exit Sub line is not hit then the 'loop will continue to the next field position Next iPosition NextPT: Next pt End If Next sh Set wkbkTarget = Nothing Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
Here is another example - unfortunately in Deutach (you have to translate it where you need it), maybe it will help your projects.
Maybe that will bring you a little closer to your goal.

Hope I could help you at least a little.
I would be happy to know if I could help.
I wish you continued success with Excel

NikolinoDE Thanks for trying, but I'm afraid that I don't speak German, and a Google translation isn't typically sufficient for technical instructions.
