    I have a pivot table that uses an table as its data source. In turn, the table acting as the data source is linked to a table in an access database.

    If I use ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll I know both the table and the pivot table will be refreshed but is there anyway that I can ensure that the data source table is refreshed before the pivot table that relies on it?

    When I open a worksheet data are updated from an external database. after that the pivottables in the worksheet should be refreshed. I have the vba code to refresh the pivottables but the macro for refreshing the pivottables is starting directly by opening the worksheet so before the data are updated.
    What is the vba code to refresh the pivottables starting after the data are updated?

    Best option is to put the ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll code line at least twice, so you ensure it doesn’t matter the order for data updates in the related tables.

    I want to refresh the workbook from all external links and close the file by macro…the problem is my file is too large and refreshing it takes 3,4 minutes,, is there any way to delay macro after refreshing so it can make sure to close the file when the refreshing process is done?
