Long

The index to the last change in the associated PivotTableChangeList collection. The index is specified by the Order property of the ValueChange object in the PivotTableChangeList collection.

Remarks

The PivotTableBeforeAllocateChanges event occurs immediately before Excel executes an UPDATE CUBE statement to apply all changes to the PivotTable's OLAP data source, and immediately after the user has chosen to apply changes in the user interface.

Example

The following code example prompts the user before updates are applied to the PivotTable's OLAP data source.

Sub Worksheet_PivotTableBeforeAllocateChanges(ByVal TargetPivotTable As PivotTable, _ 
 ByVal ValueChangeStart As Long, ByVal ValueChangeEnd As Long, Cancel As Boolean) 
 Dim UserChoice As VbMsgBoxResult 
 
 UserChoice = MsgBox("Allow updates to be applied to: " + TargetPivotTable.Name + "?", vbYesNo) 
 If UserChoice = vbNo Then Cancel = True 
End Sub
