plExpandAutomatic default For relational data sources, fields and their members are expanded. For multidimensional data sources, fields and their members are not expanded.
plExpandNever Fields are never added to the detail area of a PivotTable list. This setting does not prevent the user from expanding the field once it has been added to the PivotTable list.

Sub NeverExpand()
    Dim pvtView
    Dim ptConstants

    Set ptConstants = PivotTable1.Constants

    ' Set a variable to the active view.
    Set pvtView = PivotTable1.ActiveView

    ' Always expand fields when they are added
    ' to a PivotTable list.
    pvtView.ExpandMembers = ptConstants.plExpandNever

    ' Always expand fields when they are added
    ' to the detail area PivotTable list.
    pvtView.ExpandDetails = ptConstants.plExpandNever
End Sub
