Excel VBA - Privot table filter multiple criteria

Question

I am trying to filter a pivot table with multiple criteria. I\'ve check other posts, but I am getting the error \"AutoFiler method of Range class failed\" when running:

Answer 1

These issue has a very simple solution.

Just use method to select items via “SLICER” (and VBA code).

For more details use record macro option.

Code example

ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_RS_YM").SlicerItems(“Item1Name”).Selected = True ‘ include ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_RS_YM").SlicerItems(“Item2Name”).Selected = False ‘ exclude

Answer 2

I was just trying to do a similar thing, and got an error about not being able to adjust visibility.

PTItm.Visible = False

Looking into it, it had something to do with the kind of query (OLAP or not I think or maybe because I set the pivot up as a table view). Anyway, I had to adjust Shai's great idea a little to make it work. I thought I'd share this to save others, who come across this thread in the future, some time fiddling with odd errors. The key was to use another array and .VisibleItemsList.

Sub FilterPivotItems()

Dim PT          As PivotTable
Dim PTItm       As PivotItem
Dim FiterArr()  As Variant
Dim NewFilterList() As Variant
ReDim Preserve NewFilterList(0) 'I still haven't figured out how to avoid this double dim'ing, sorry

' use an array to select the items in the pivot filter you want to keep visible
FiterArr = Array("[POSched].[Inspection Plan].&", "[POSched].[Inspection Plan].&[DEFAULT]") '2 Items here, the first one means empty i.e. ""

' set the Pivot Table
Set PT = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Prisma").PivotTables("SequenceOverview")

' loop through all Pivot Items in "Value" Pivot field
For Each PTItm In PT.PivotFields("[POSched].[Inspection Plan].[Inspection Plan]").PivotItems
    If IsError(Application.Match(PTItm.Value, FiterArr, 0)) Then ' check if current item is not in the filter array
        NewFilterList(UBound(NewFilterList)) = PTItm.Value 'Make a new array to use later
        ReDim Preserve NewFilterList(UBound(NewFilterList) + 1)
    End If
Next PTItm

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Prisma").PivotTables("SequenceOverview").PivotFields("[POSched].[Inspection Plan].[Inspection Plan]").VisibleItemsList = NewFilterList

End Sub

Edit: I forgot to mention that this code assumes, that no filters were applied before. This works fine for me but may not be helpful for everyone.

You can try the code below:

Option Explicit

Sub FilterPivotItems()

Dim PT          As PivotTable
Dim PTItm       As PivotItem
Dim FiterArr()  As Variant

' use an array to select the items in the pivot filter you want to keep visible
FiterArr = Array("101", "105", "107")

' set the Pivot Table
Set PT = ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable3")

' loop through all Pivot Items in "Value" Pivot field
For Each PTItm In PT.PivotFields("Value").PivotItems
    If Not IsError(Application.Match(PTItm.Caption, FiterArr, 0)) Then ' check if current item is not in the filter array
        PTItm.Visible = True
    Else
        PTItm.Visible = False
    End If
Next PTItm

End Sub
