Dynamic file path updating pivot table using macro

[Danny]

Hi all

I am currently trying to get a pivot table to update the data source and refresh by making use of a macro.

This works correctly on my local machine, however when i send it to a colleague it errors. This is because when updating the data source its calling my profile rather than a dynamic address. When another user runs this macro obviously the address cannot be found and the code errors.

Is there a way to edit the data source without and make use of a dynamic address rather than a static one? I have attached sample code to help my explanation.

Thank you in advance
Danny

What you're doing "is called cross-posting and is generally frowned upon in the Blogosphere as it causes people to potentially waste our time when a question is already answered or to disperse our efforts thru repeated threads on the same subject. You should also check and respond to posts and let posters know if they are heading in the write direction or not." Hui's dixit, SIC. And I agree 101%.

"Cross Posting, generally it is considered poor practice to cross post, that is to post the same question on several forums in the hope of getting a response quicker.
If you do cross post, please put that in your post.
Also if you have cross posted and get an answer elsewhere, have the courtesy of posting the answer here so other readers can learn from the answer also, as well as stopping people wasting there time on your answered question."
