I am trying to create a VBA macro that creates a pivot table (dynamic) for a set of data. The data size will change with each database I bring up so the pivot table range needs to be dynamic.

I'm recording a bunch of data in a table. For one part, there are many different types of occurrences, lets's say a, b, c, etc. that can occur, and six of them will occur in each trial. A separate column records the outcome of the trial as a success or a failure. My question is what is the best way to show success rate, as well as other things, based on any of the individual occurrences? I assume a pivot table would work, but I'm not sure how to show that. My current set up has six 'occurrence' columns, although it makes no difference the order of the occurrences as they are simultaneous. This setup though will break it down as if the order mattered. Should I instead use one column and in each cell list all six occurrences?

I have some data that records exactly six factors for every trial. There are 25 possible factors for each trial, but exactly six different ones will occur in each trial. Trial one might use factors a, b, c, d, e, f and trial two might use a, b, c, d, f, g, for example. I also record the outcome of each trial as a success or a failure, as well as some other things for each trial. I'd like to be able to show the success rate, among other things, based on the occurrence of any individual factor. I think I could do this if I used a pivot table with a column for each possible factor by putting a one or zero in the appropriate slot, but then I'd have 25 different columns. My other idea was to use six columns and record a factor in each. The order makes no difference, but I don't know if I can still show what I want using this method as the pivot table will think that each of the six factor columns are different (it would treat a 'b' that shows up in the second column as a separate case than a 'b' that shows up in the first column). Are either of these the right way to approach this and if not, then what is? Follow up... If possible, I'd also like to show success rate given a combination of factors within a trial, as well as a success rate given a certain factor within a trial against a competing factor (success rate when 'a' occurs without an opposing 'a' or when 'a' occurs against an opposing 'd').

I have been working with Pivot Tables for this data, but I feel that a macro may be better at this point. Essentially, I have exported an survey that has been attached to an event session. There are three questions for each session and each question has 5 answers to choose from. I would like each question to show a graph like this: Question: I feel confident that I can apply what I learned. Session Item: RED Count of each option: Definitely Yes!: 4 Definitely No: 2 Sure: 18 No: 0

I am attempting to create an Excel Table macro in VBA that can create the same pre-formatted pivot table to the data, regardless of sheet name or number of rows in the data ( # of columns is always fixed). I would then like to insert the pivot table to the first available cell in row 1 (W1). Unfortunately I cannot share the real data at this time, but I have included my code so far in an excel sheet. I have looked into changing .select and .activesheet but haven't had any luck. I see that my problem lies in the part of the code where the pivot table is created by referencing specific cells and sheets. I need this to be more dynamic to read and interpret any set of data. Thank you in advance!
