XL2000: Incorrect Classic PivotTable Format Constant Recorded in Macro (236378)

  • Microsoft Excel 2000
This article was previously published under Q236378

SYMPTOMS

When you run a recorded macro that formats a PivotTable, the PivotTable may be incorrectly formatted with the Report 1 style.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if you formatted your PivotTable with the PivotTable Classic AutoFormat when you recorded your macro.

In this case, the macro recorder adds an invalid constant (xlClassicPivotTable) to the Format method in your code. So, this constant gets evaluated to a value of zero, which is the same value as the xlReport1 constant.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, modify the macro code that was generated by the macro recorder as follows:
  1. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11).
  2. Replace the invalid constant xlClassicPivotTable with the correct constant xlPTClassic.
  3. Close the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11).
