So, having this structure (starting at A1 - show snippet > run):
table {
border-color: #BBB;
border-width: 0px 0px 1px 1px;
border-style: dotted;
}
body {
font: 12px Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;
color: #333;
}
td {
border-color: #BBB;
border-width: 1px 1px 0px 0px;
border-style: dotted;
padding: 3px;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>A</th>
<th>B</th>
<th>C</th>
<th>D</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Title 1</td>
<td>Title 2</td>
<td>Title 3</td>
<td>Title 4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>GH</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>434</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>TH</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>435</td>
<td>5</td>

<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>TH</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>6</td>

<tr>
<td>5</td>
<td>LH</td>

<td>36</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I scripted some code to transform that range (A1:D6) in a ListObject, added 4 new columns and subtotals:
Function test()
Dim objLO As ListObject
Set objLO = ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$A$1:$D$6"), , xlYes)
objLO.Name = "Recap"
objLO.TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium2"
objLO.ListColumns.Add (objLO.ListColumns.Count + 1)
objLO.HeaderRowRange(objLO.ListColumns.Count) = "Tot1"
objLO.ListColumns.Add (objLO.ListColumns.Count + 1)
objLO.HeaderRowRange(objLO.ListColumns.Count) = "Tot2"
objLO.ListColumns.Add (objLO.ListColumns.Count + 1)
objLO.HeaderRowRange(objLO.ListColumns.Count) = "Tot3"
objLO.ListColumns.Add (objLO.ListColumns.Count + 1)
objLO.HeaderRowRange(objLO.ListColumns.Count) = "Tot4"
objLO.ShowTotals = True
objLO.ListColumns("Tot1").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
objLO.ListColumns("Tot2").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
objLO.ListColumns("Tot3").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
objLO.ListColumns("Tot4").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
End Function
Now if you go on any cell of the new columns and write some numbers the odd thing is that the TOTAL (subtotal) doesn't updates; but if you save the file and reopen it it would work and the totals will update. What I'm missing?
I've already tried moving the ShowTotals after the TotalCalculation but the behavior remain the same.
If we now rebuild the sheet from scratch and add this piece of code for subtotals for columns b, c and d after applying the style in the previous code:
objLO.ListColumns("b").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
objLO.ListColumns("c").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
objLO.ListColumns("d").TotalsCalculation = xlTotalsCalculationSum
I noticed that the subtotals for b, c and d are working but not for Tot1, Tot2 etc.
It seems that the only workaround is to construct the raw table before adding a ListObject with the references for creating it. Anyone know a better solution?
Thanks in advance :)
