Example

This example determines if there are member properties in the fourth field and, if there are, which fields the properties pertain to. Depending on the findings, Excel notifies the user.

Sub CheckParentField()

    Dim pvtTable As PivotTable
    Dim pvtField As PivotField

    Set pvtTable = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
    Set pvtField = pvtTable.PivotFields(4)

    ' Check for member properties and notify user.
    If pvtField.IsMemberProperty = False Then
        MsgBox "No member properties present."
    Else
        MsgBox "The parent field of the members is: " & _
            pvtField.PropertyParentField
    End If
