I have work with LibreOffice Macro.

I want to create pivot table with macro, because these data will change often. If I make it with macro, they will be otomatically.

I added a sample about my table, my first goal it to collect B Code. B code must be uniqe in my pivot table, and I want to collect G1,G2,G3 column if B Code is the same.

I added an example about my pivot table

How can I write it with Basic Code, Can you help me about it?

Hi @JohnSUN. Do you have any suggestion for it?

It is not difficult. How big is your real work table?

Of course, you can also create a PivotTable (DataPilotTable) by user code, but I would assume it useless to map all the settings you can make in the big PivotTable dialogue to parameters. Anyway it's always a special task to pass parameters to a Sub. I also would not try to mimic the functionality of a PivotTable by user code. The very next day expectations may change a bit, and the code will need its own refresh.

As I saw the OP the accent was on frequent or even automatic refresh.
How I would do it is demonstrated in this attachment.

For not very large amounts of data, this solution will be fast enough - C:\fakepath\pseudoPivot.ods

I'm irritated now. The OP talked of a pivot table and of frequent need to update it. Well, the respective sheet in his example document doesn't contain a pivot table, but it shows results you can get with a pivot table using SUM as the accumulating function. If the table once is created the standard way, you only need to identify it as an object and to trigger it's .refresh method when needed. Why do all the work by user code?

Don't worry, colleague, just keep in mind that the OP can confuse the terms and write a "Pivot Table" when it means "Subtotals" Examining the attached sample data allows to understand the cause of the confusion
