PivotTable.SmallGrid property (Excel)
True if Microsoft Excel uses a grid that's two cells wide and two cells deep for a newly created PivotTable report. False if Excel uses a blank stencil outline. Read/write Boolean.
Syntax
expression.SmallGrid
expression A variable that represents a PivotTable object.
Remarks
You should use the stencil outline. The grid is provided only because it enables compatibility with earlier versions of Excel.
Example
This example creates a new PivotTable cache based on an OLAP provider, and then it creates a new PivotTable report based on this cache at cell A3 on the active worksheet. The example uses the stencil outline instead of the cell grid.
With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)
.Connection = _
"OLEDB;Provider=MSOLAP;Location=srvdata;Initial Catalog=National"
.MaintainConnection = True
.CreatePivotTable TableDestination:=Range("A3"), _
TableName:= "PivotTable1"
End With
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
.SmallGrid = False
.PivotCache.RefreshPeriod = 0
With .CubeFields("[state]")
.Orientation = xlColumnField
.Position = 0
End With
With .CubeFields("[Measures].[Count Of au_id]")
.Orientation = xlDataField
.Position = 0
End With
End With
