Pivot Filtering with Cell Selection and VBA

This post looks at applying data filters in Excel workbooks with sheet 'click' functionality for filtering. The purpose of this is to provide a rich user experience for reporting within Excel. With these types of reports, you present some data in a pivot which is used to as a source filter for other parts of your report (or worksheet). Consider the situation below; when you click on one of the country names in the pivot, the chart is automatically updated to filter for that country. Clicking on any other area of the pivot removes any chart filter.
