Assume that you used an external data source to create a PivotTable report on Sheet1. This example inserts the SQL connection string and query string into a new worksheet.
Set newSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
sdArray = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.PivotTable.SourceData
For i = LBound(sdArray) To UBound(sdArray)
newSheet.Cells(i, 1) = sdArray(i)
Next i
