sub makeapivottable()      dim ssheet, ssheet2 worksheet 'ssheet data is, ssheet2 pivot built     dim ccache pivotcache     dim pttable pivottable     dim rrange range     dim rlastrow, clastcolumn long      ' insert new sheet pivot table reside     application.displayalerts = false     sheets.add before:=activesheet     activesheet.name = "pivottable"     application.displayalerts = true     set ssheet2 = worksheets("pivottable")     set ssheet = worksheets("interactions db")      ' define range (the data want put pivot table     rlastrow = ssheet.cells(rows.count, 1).end(xlup).row     clastcolumn = ssheet.cells(1, columns.count).end(xltoleft).column     set rrange = ssheet.cells(1, 1).resize(rlastrow, clastcolumn)      ' create cache pivot table     set ccache = activeworkbook.pivotcaches.create _     (sourcetype:=xldatabase, sourcedata:=rrange). _     createpivottable(tabledestination:=ssheet2.cells(2, 2), _     tablename:="salespivottable")       ' insert blank table     set pttable = ccache.createpivottable _         (tabledestination:=ssheet2.cells(1, 1), tablename:="salespivottable")       'insert row fields     activesheet.pivottables("salespivottable").pivotfields("customer")     .orientation = xlrowfield     .position = 1     end       'insert column fields     'with activesheet.pivottables("salespivottable").pivotfields("interaction type")     '.orientation = xlcolumnfield     '.position = 1     'end      'insert data field     activesheet.pivottables("salespivottable").pivotfields("interactiontype")     .orientation = xldatafield     .position = 1     .function = xlsum     .numberformat = "#,##0"     .name = "person "     end       ' formatting       end sub 

try code below (explanations inside code comments)
