Question : Can I apply PivotTable.XMLData output from Access to an Excel Pivot Table?

I have saved the structure of various pivot tables as XML in a table so that users can save their favorite pivot views or can call up entries and recreate frequently used structures instantly.

To learn about using/extracting the PivotTable.XML data, refer to the EXCELLENT solution at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Q_21259888.html
for more details.  I had certainly never heard of this capability before I found it on EE.

My question is, does anyone know how to apply this XMLData specification to a silimar recordset in Excel?  My user wants to be able to manipulate the output (as a pivot table) once in excel.

If this is not possible, is there any other way I can port the pivot table and data in it's current format (subform) to excel?

Thanks for any guidance.

gethryn,


Probably, but manipulating Pivot tables in vba from XML is not my specialty.
However, you can "Link" the Access source data into excel so you have the exact same source. It should be a snap to recreate the pivot table in Excel manually.
If you need the steps, let me know and I will provide them.


Never tried, because I either made my PT in Access or Excel
