PivotField.Orientation Property (Excel)
Returns or sets a XlPivotFieldOrientation value that represents the location of the field in the specified PivotTable report.
Syntax
expression .Orientation
expression A variable that represents a PivotField object.
Remarks
For OLAP data sources, setting this property for one field in a hierarchy sets the orientation for the other fields in the same hierarchy. Dimension fields can only be oriented in the row, column, and page field areas of the PivotTable report. Measure fields can only be oriented in the data area. Setting a hierarchy or data field to xlHidden removes the hierarchy or field from the PivotTable report.
Example
This example displays the orientation for the ORDER_DATE field.
Set pvtTable = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").PivotTable
Set pvtField = pvtTable.PivotFields("ORDER_DATE")
Select Case pvtField.Orientation
Case xlHidden
MsgBox "Hidden field"
Case xlRowField
MsgBox "Row field"
Case xlColumnField
MsgBox "Column field"
Case xlPageField
MsgBox "Page field"
Case xlDataField
MsgBox "Data field"
End Select
