Firstly I created 4 pivot tables into 1 worksheet named OOTWeeklyTrendperPlatform, OOTWeeklyTrendperFailureMode, OverallWeeklyTrendperDereel, OverallWeeklyTrendperEngDataValue. These portion was completed successfully.

After that from each of these 4 pivot tables I wanted to create pivot chart. So there is 4 pivot tables and 4 pivot charts inside 1 worksheet.

My sequence of work is this way (table and chart name is for illustration purpose) table1 then chart1 then table2 then chart2 and so on. The problem is that after completed table1, chart1, and table2; I get an error when producing chart2 (or second chart correspond to table2). Please find shortened code below.

Sub MakePivotTableDereel()
    Dim PTCache As PivotCache, PTCache1 As PivotCache
    Dim PT As PivotTable, PT1 As PivotTable, PT2 As PivotTable, PT3 As PivotTable

    Dim rngChart As Range, rngChart1 As Range, rngChart2 As Range, rngChart3 As Range
    Dim objChart As ChartObject, objChart1 As ChartObject, objChart2 As ChartObject, objChart3 As ChartObject

    Dim PivotDereel As Worksheet
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'   Delete PivotSheet if it exists
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Sheets("PivotDereel").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0

'   Create Pivot Cache
    Set PTCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=Sheets("Data").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Address)

'   Add PivotDereel sheet
    Set PivotDereel = Worksheets.Add
    ActiveSheet.Name = "PivotDereel"
    Cells(1, 1).Value = "OOT Weekly Trend per Platform"
    Cells(1, 1).Font.Size = 16
    Cells(1, 15).Value = "OOT Weekly Trend per Failure Mode"
    Cells(1, 15).Font.Size = 16
    Cells(1, 29).Value = "Overall Weekly Trend per Dereel"
    Cells(1, 29).Font.Size = 16
    Cells(1, 39).Value = "Overall Weekly Trend per Eng Data Value"
    Cells(1, 39).Font.Size = 16

'   Create pivot table OOTWeeklyTrendperPlatform

'below is the portion to create 3rd and 4th pivot tables and charts
end sub

I get error: Method 'SetSourceData' of object '_chart' failed at part,

With objChart1.Chart
        .SetSourceData Source:=rngChart1
        End With

This part suppose to assign source data for the second chart. But it fails. Do you have the solution?

If any cell in a pivot table is selected, a chart that you insert will automatically use the whole pivot table as its source data. I just ran this on a worksheet with a handful of pivot tables:

for i=1 to 4
  activesheet.pivottables(i).tablerange2.cells(1,1).select
  ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart
  ' here you need to specify chart type and style, size and position, etc.
next

No need for SetSourceData (which gave me unexpected problems before I simplified as above).
