Examples

The following code example creates a PivotTable report and a NamedRange inside the area of the PivotTable report. It then uses the PivotTable, LocationInTable, PivotCell, PivotItem, and PivotField properties to display information about the placement of the NamedRange within the PivotTable report. The example also uses the Group method to perform numeric grouping based on the first value in the field.

This example is for a document-level customization.
