Excel Developer Reference

Syntax

expression.PropertyParentField

expression   A variable that represents a PivotField object.

Remarks

Valid only for fields that are member property fields.

If the IsMemberProperty property is False, using the PropertyParentField property will return a run-time error.

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. This example assumes that a PivotTable exists on the active worksheet and that it is based on an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) data source.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  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.<strong class="bterm">PropertyParentField</strong>
End If



End Sub
