Set pivot filters to match another pivot table

[werafa]

Hi,

I have several pivot tables set to different pivotcaches that I wish to control from a single timeline slicer.

I am able to program the filter settings using

.PivotFields("Date").PivotFilters.Add2 Type:=xlDateBetween, Value1:=startDate, Value2:=endDate

I now need to read the filter state of the primary pivot, get startDate and endDate, and apply this to the subordinate pivots - but can not deduce the correct object properties to call/read.
(this is currently triggered by a pivottable change event - am attempting to read values from "Target")

Can anyone assist?
Thanks

progress

Have lucked onto the syntax to read values from target

If Target.Name <> "pvtBudget" Then Exit Sub
startDate = Target.ActiveFilters.Item(1).Value1
endDate = Target.ActiveFilters.Item(1).Value2

am now getting a "This isn't a valid date" error when applying as posted above.
but the variables are dimmed as date type - so the values are valid dates.

any ideas why this is happening, or a better way to apply the filters?
thanks again

Instead of dates, have you tried dimming the dates as Long type?

I've not. I'll do this, and report back. will try string too.
