Deselect all items in a pivot table using vba

Question

Can some quicly explain the way to deselect all items in a newly created pivot table so that I can go back and select only one or two items? I tried the following:

Answer 1

Check the following out. Select data for specific field name. Please do note that you have to at least select one item by default. And also do not forget that if you want to hide items, Only contiguous items in a PivotTable Field can be hidden. Perhaps at page load, or worksheet open or any of your other sub trigger, you could select a particular items to be selected based on a specific field. Then allow your code to proceed with anything else.

Sub specificItemsField()
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim strPVField As String

strPVField = "Field Name"
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PivotFields(strPVField)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

On Error Resume Next
    pf.AutoSort xlManual, pf.SourceName
     For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
         pi.Visible = True
     Next pi
    pf.AutoSort xlAscending, pf.SourceName

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
