Set Variables and Filters before first Refresh

Hello Experts,

I have  6 reports in one workbook which are needing some time to refresh. Since I need the actual data only with updated filters and variables (which I already know before the start),  I'd like to avoid too many refreshes. I'm using VBA-macro, disabled the auto-refresh when open the Execl. Currently I have the steps:

1. load AddIn
2. Refresh all 6 datasources
3. Set variables and filters (for all 6 without refreshes between)
4. Refresh indirect by "PauseVariableSubmit =Off" and a second time(?) by "SAPSetRefreshBehaviour = On"

So all in all it looks like 3 refreshs of all 6 datasources to get my data. Any idea to avoid some?

Thanks,

Stephan
