I know I can record a macro in excel to get the vba code when manually creating a pivot table.
But if I already have a manually created pivot table in an excel sheet - is there a way to now get the vba code to recreate an equally looking pivot table in another excel workbook (based on the same kind of but other data)?

I am a VBA newbie. I am trying to set up a process to quickly update an existing power point template using data from an Excel worksheet.
I was successful in doing it for charts, and for text boxes, but I am struggling with tables.
Let's say I have an existing 2x3 table in ppt and I want to update it with my data from a 2x3 Excel range. Can I do it without for loop?
Every month, I run a massive Scorecard report. The raw data contains 13 workbooks that are exported as .csv files.
I use Power Query to manipulate and Append this data into 4 different worksheets.
To keep things clean, I then use a Macro to move the 4 Data Arrays into a Scorecard Workbook (which is shared with the team)
The Scorecard Workbook has 4 tabs with the Data Sheets: wsTotalUS, wsCombined, wsDFCoreMkts, wsNovCoreMkts.
The 4 Data Sheets to create 4 different Pivot Caches.
wsTotalUS has a Pivot Table on Sheet5
wsCombined has a Pivot Table on Sheets 6-13
wsDFCoreMkts has a Pivot Table on Sheet 14
wsNovCoreMkts has a Pivot Table on Sheet 15
Each month the data Rows can change (The Columns will always be the same - “A:AP”)
I have researched how to dynamically update pivot tables. I know some articles suggest changing the source data into a Table. I would like to avoid this due to the amount of time it would take to move the Data over to the Scorecard.
For example: wsTotalUS has 47,707 rows & wsCombined has 123,153 rows
One article I found had the code written on the Source Data Sheet as a Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate().
However, this would only use one Data Sheet, and update all of the Pivot Tables in the workbook when you switch from the data sheet.

I found these articles, but they one only refers to one Data Sheet and one Pivot Table.

This article uses the Worksheet_SelectionChange event. But again, only one Data Sheet is implied here.

How do I go about dynamically updating 4 different PivotCaches within a workbook?
Should I just run 4 separate sub routines?
UPDATED:
Based on Tim's suggestion:
Under Formulas -> Named Range:
TotalUS =OFFSET('Total US'!$A$1,0,0, COUNTA('Total US'!$A:$A),COUNTA('Total US'!$1:$1))
Then go to the Pivot Table that references this data, Change Data Source = TotalUS
I have pivot table on excel,
where data source come from SSAS SQL,
i want to set automatic the date as date using macro VBA,
so when i hit a button the asofdate will change D-1 and retrive the data
i cant find the solution to use macro to set this date pivot
How can I export a PowerPivot table to a new workbook without the attached data model?
Even if I click paste values, Excel makes the file unreasonably large (13MB).
Can I turn this behaviour off?
When you say pasting a Power Pivot table, do you mean copying the table that exists in the data model, that you access through clicking the "Manage" button in the Power Pivot ribbon menu?
Or do you mean copying the values displayed in an Excel pivot table that happens to be backed by a Power Pivot model?
If the former, you can paste the table directly into a new workbook sheet (assuming it has fewer rows than Excel's limit) with no problems and no attachment made to the source workbook's data model.
If the latter, pasting values will bring over only the values, but you have to utilize the right click menu option to do so. If you just CTRL-C CTRL-V the pivot table, and then use the copy-paste context menu to change to values only, then Excel is first creating a copy of the data model in the new workbook to back the pivot table that you are pasting. Then after this action is completed, you are telling it to display values only, but Excel will not delete the data model it's just created to back the pivot table.
I just ran into this problem, it was very easy to resolve. Initially I was trying to paste as values into the destination workbook directly from the source Pivot table which automatically brings the data model across with it.
Simply make a copy of the table by pasting values into the SAME workbook as your data model. Then copy and past the new table into your destination workbook, it will just give you the values and leave the data model behind.
I have defined a table in MS Excel and want an exact copy of this table on another worksheet which updates itself when changes are made on the original table. For instance, if one inserts a new line at the end of the original table, excel auto-expands this table - this should also be reflected on the table copy.
Is this possible without VBA?
Thanks in advance!
