Pivotfields multiple filter

I have the code below and i'm trying to have my pivotfields part of the pivot table show 3 countries (France, Belgium and Luxembourg). The list of countries expands and contracts each time the table is updated (but France, Belgium and Luxembourg remain). 

'delete all filters for country
  With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("countryName")
  .ClearAllFilters
  .CurrentPage = "FRANCE"
  .PivotItems("BELGIUM").Visible = True
  .PivotItems("LUXEMBOURG").Visible = True

  End With

This doesn't work, there are now issue with the code (errors) that arise but Belgium and Luxembourg don't appear on the filtered list

Can anyone help with this?

This code should do what you need. To learn more about filtering PivotTables quickly, check out my blogpost on the subject. 

Option Explicit

Sub FilterPivot()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim i As Long
Dim vItem As Variant
Dim vCountries As Variant

Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("CountryName")

vCountries = Array("FRANCE", "BELGIUM", "LUXEMBOURG")

pt.ManualUpdate = True 'Stops PivotTable from refreshing after each PivotItem is changed

With pf

    'At least one item must remain visible in the PivotTable at all times, so make the first
    'item visible, and at the end of the routine, check if it actually  *should* be visible        
    .PivotItems(1).Visible = True

    'Hide any other items that aren't already hidden.
    'Note that it is far quicker to check the status than to change it.
    ' So only hide each item if it isn't already hidden
    For i = 2 To .PivotItems.Count
        If .PivotItems(i).Visible Then .PivotItems(i).Visible = False
    Next i

    'Make the PivotItems of interest visible
    On Error Resume Next 'In case one of the items isn't found
    For Each vItem In vCountries
        .PivotItems(vItem).Visible = True
    Next vItem
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Hide the first PivotItem, unless it is one of the countries of interest
    On Error Resume Next
    If InStr(UCase(Join(vCountries, "|")), UCase(.PivotItems(1))) = 0 Then .PivotItems(1).Visible = False
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        .ClearAllFilters
        MsgBox Title:="No Items Found", Prompt:="None of the desired items was found in the Pivot, so I have cleared the filter"
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0

End With

pt.ManualUpdate = False

End Sub
