Loop Through Power Pivot, Pivot Table Filter and Print to PDF

Question

The objective is to Loop through an Excel Power Pivot, Pivot Table and print each Filtered Result to PDF in a specific file location.

When the code gets to the for loop of the output it is giving me an error

"Run Time Error - 438 Object doesnt support the property or method"

on the line For Each pi In pt

Sub Button1_Click()
 Dim strPath As String
 Dim wksSource As Worksheet
 Dim pt As PivotTable
 Dim pf As PivotField
 Dim pi As PivotItem
 Dim cf As CubeField

 Set wksSource = Worksheets("Summary for Each Analyst")

 Set pt = wksSource.PivotTables("PivotTable1")

 Set cf = pt.CubeFields("[Std_MainData].[CredentialingAnalyst]")

 If cf.Orientation <> xlPageField Then
  MsgBox "There's no 'Credentialing Analyst' field in the Report Filter. Try again!", vbExclamation
 End If

 strPath = "H:\"

 If Right(strPath, 1) <> "\" Then strPath = strPath & "\"

  ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = False

  pt.PivotCache.Refresh

  For Each pi In pt
   wksSource.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=strPath & pi.Name & ".pdf"
  Next pi

I've struggled with this same issue this whole weekend and I finally got it working for me looping through a slicer instead of report filter.

'This VBA will loop through your Power Pivot slicer and print the results to PDF.
'To get it working change slicer name and storage location in below VBA.

Private Sub PowerPivotLoopSlicerPrintPDF()
Dim SC As SlicerCache
Dim SL As SlicerCacheLevel
Dim SI As SlicerItem

Set SC = ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Kolonne1") 'Add slicer name between " "
Set SL = SC.SlicerCacheLevels(1)

'c(ounter) is set to 1, ready to begin
c = 1


'Repeat the a loop until number of prints exceeds number of items in slicer
Do While c <= SC.SlicerCacheLevels.Item.Count + 1

'This makes sure that SI is the correct slicer. Needed for corrent file name.
    For Each SI In SL.SlicerItems
        If SI.Selected = True Then
        SlicerverdiIndex = c
    Exit For
        End If
    Next SI


    'PRINT CODE
    Dim FName           As String
    Dim FPath           As String

    'Define file path for printed file storage
    FPath = "C:\Users\remia\Desktop\VBA\"   'Choose your filepath
    FName = SI.SourceName

    'Define WHAT to print and how to build file name
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
    FPath & "\" & FName & ".pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
    False

    'PRINT CODE FINISHED

'Sets the slicer to the last item in the list
If SlicerverdiIndex = 1 Then
    SlicerverdiIndex = SC.SlicerCacheLevels.Item.Count + 1
End If
SC.VisibleSlicerItemsList = SL.SlicerItems(SlicerverdiIndex - 1).Name

'Adds 1 to the counter, will loop until end of slicer has been reached.
c = c + 1

Loop

End Sub
