I'm trying to figure out how to turn off totals in an Excel pivot table generated by a perl script. Anybody any ideas? I'v tried three different approaches, so far without success. See the example code below. The problem is with the code at the end... none of it actually turns off totals. Thanks!!

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::OLE qw( with);
use constant xlColumnField => 2;
use constant xlCount => -4112;
use constant xlDatabase => 1;
use constant xlHidden => 0;
use constant xlPivotTableVersion10 => 1;
use constant xlRowField => 1;
use constant xlSum => -4157;

sub Macro1;


   my $_app_object = (Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
+ ||
                      Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application'));

   $_app_object->{'Visible'} = 1;
   $_app_object->Workbooks->Add();

   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(1, 1)->{Value} = "a";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(1, 2)->{Value} = "b";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(1, 3)->{Value} = "c";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(2, 1)->{Value} = "1";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(2, 2)->{Value} = "2";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(2, 3)->{Value} = "3";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(3, 1)->{Value} = "4";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(3, 2)->{Value} = "5";
   $_app_object->ActiveSheet->Cells(3, 3)->{Value} = "6";

sub Macro1 {
    $_app_object->ActiveWorkbook->PivotCaches->Add({SourceType => xlDa
+tabase, SourceData => 'Sheet1!R1C1:R4C3'})->CreatePivotTable({TableDe

    $_app_object->ActiveSheet->PivotTables('PivotTable1')->AddDataFiel
+d($_app_object->ActiveSheet->PivotTables('PivotTable1')->PivotFields(

    {
        my $_with001 = $_app_object->ActiveSheet->PivotTables('PivotTa
+ble1')->PivotFields('b');
        with ($_with001,
              Orientation => xlRowField,
              Position => 2,
        );
    }
    {
        my $_with002 = $_app_object->ActiveSheet->PivotTables('PivotTa
+ble1')->PivotFields('a');
        with ($_with002,
              Orientation => xlRowField,
              Position => 1,
        );
    }
    {
        my $_with003 = $_app_object->ActiveSheet->PivotTables('PivotTa
+ble1')->PivotFields('c');
        with ($_with003,
              Orientation => xlColumnField,
              Position => 1,
        );

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
