Excel VBA - Stuck on generating pivot table from variable data range

Question

I have the code below which theoretically should create a pivot table on a 2nd sheet (which exists) using the data it finds on the 'DATA' sheet. However it always crashes as soon as it reaches the part to create the pivot table.

I originally come from a fixed size and afterwards changed it so it should take all the data on my 'DATA' sheet regardless of whether it's a 2x3 or 58x13 table

Sheets("DATA").Select
Range("H1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "l"
Range("A1").Select



ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ 
    Sheets("DATA").Range("A1").CurrentRegion, _
    Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14).CreatePivotTable _
    TableDestination:="Prior. per user!R1C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", _
    DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14



Sheets("Prior. per user").Select
Cells(1, 1).Select
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Priority")
    .Orientation = xlColumnField
    .Position = 1
End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Caller")
    .Orientation = xlRowField
    .Position = 1
End With
Range("D2").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Priority").PivotItems( _
    "Medium").Position = 2
Columns("D:D").ColumnWidth = 7.43
Columns("C:C").ColumnWidth = 10
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
    "PivotTable1").PivotFields("Number"), "Sum of Number", xlSum
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Sum of Number")
    .Caption = "Count of Number"
    .Function = xlCount
End With

If anyone sees what's wrong with it, it would be much appreciated.

Your target sheet name has spaces in it so you need to enclose it in single quotes:

ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ 
    Sheets("DATA").Range("A1").CurrentRegion, _
    Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14).CreatePivotTable _
    TableDestination:="'Prior. per user'!R1C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", _
    DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14

Personally, I would also use a variable to refer to the pivot table:

Dim PT As PivotTable

Set PT = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
    Sheets("DATA").Range("A1").CurrentRegion, _
    Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14).CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:="'Prior. per user'!R1C1", TableName:="PivotTable1", _
    DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14)


With PT
    With .PivotFields("Priority")
        .Orientation = xlColumnField
        .Position = 1
    End With
    With .PivotFields("Caller")
        .Orientation = xlRowField
        .Position = 1
    End With
    .PivotFields("Priority").PivotItems("Medium").Position = 2
    .Parent.Columns("D:D").ColumnWidth = 7.43
    .Parent.Columns("C:C").ColumnWidth = 10
    .AddDataField .PivotFields("Number"), "Count of Number", xlCount
End With
