IsValid Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

expression.IsValid

expression    Required. An expression that returns a CalculatedMember object.

Sub CheckValidity()

    Dim pvtTable As PivotTable
    Dim pvtCache As PivotCache

    Set pvtTable = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
    Set pvtCache = Application.ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Item(1)

    ' Make connection for PivotTable before testing IsValid property.
    pvtCache.MakeConnection

    ' Check if calculated member is valid.
    If pvtTable.CalculatedMembers.Item(1).IsValid = True Then
        MsgBox "The calculated member is valid."
    Else
        MsgBox "The calculated member is not valid."
    End If

End Sub
