how to set pivotitem.visible property to true

[Kanan]

Hi
I would appreciate if somebody can answer the following puzzle

Dim pt As PivotTabl
Dim pi As PivotIte
Sheets("Sheet4").Selec
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1
For Each pi In pt.PivotFields("Series").PivotItem
If pi.Name = "GUPTA MD,ANITA" The
pi.Visible = Tru
End I
Next p

The above code fails in the line 'pi.Visible = True'.

but it works OK if the value is set to False

thanks in advanc
Kanan

Debra Dalgleish says that you have to set the sort option to manual as in
this code;

To prevent the error, set the Sort for the field to Manual. You can do
this in the code, for example:

Sub PivotShowItemAllField()
'For version 2000 -- show all items in specific field
'sort is set to Manual to prevent errors, e.g.
'unable to set Visible Property of PivotItem class
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("Salesman")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
With pt.PivotFields("Salesman")
pf.AutoSort xlManual, pf.SourceName '<==
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
If pi.Visible <> True Then
pi.Visible = True
End If
Next pi
pf.AutoSort xlAscending, pf.SourceName
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
