PivotTable.Refresh woes

[Jeremy Ragan]

Given that I have a worksheet (ws1) with two PivotTables (pt1, pt2) that rely
on data from three other worksheets (ws2, ws3, ws4) all in the same workbook.

I need to be able to change data in ws2-4 and then have those changes be
reflected in ws1.pt1 and ws1.pt2 .

The best case scenario would be to right-click on a pivot table and then
select the "! Refresh Data" option but for some reason this is greyed-out.
Can someone tell me why this would be greyed-out?


Other option I've tried was to add a button to each of the data worksheets
(ws2--ws4) that would run the following code:

Private Sub btnUpdate_Click()

Dim pvtTable As PivotTable

For Each pvtTable In Worksheets("ws1").PivotTables
MsgBox pvtTable.Name
pvtTable.RefreshTable
Next pvtTable

End Sub

However this results in the following error

Run-time error '1004':

Refresh has been disabled by a Visual Basic macro.

Can anyone provide any insight?

After lots of trial and error, I resolved this.

Turns out both issues were caused by the fact that something somewhere was
setting the PivotCache.EnableRefresh property to False for each PivotTable.
Manually setting this to True in code seems to have solved both issues.
