expression An expression that returns a PivotCache object.

Alternatively, you may choose to access a data source directly by using the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) library instead.
This example creates a new PivotTable cache based on an OLAP provider, and then it creates a new PivotTable report based on the cache at cell A3 on the active worksheet.
With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)
.Connection = _
"OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP;Location=srvdata;Initial Catalog=National"
.MaintainConnection = True
.CreatePivotTable TableDestination:=Range("A3"), _
TableName:= "PivotTable1"
End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
.SmallGrid = False
.PivotCache.RefreshPeriod = 0
With .CubeFields("[state]")
.Orientation = xlColumnField
.Position = 0
End With
With .CubeFields("[Measures].[Count Of au_id]")
.Orientation = xlDataField
.Position = 0
End With
End With
