Other Versions
Contribute to this content
Use GitHub to suggest and submit changes. See our guidelines for contributing to VBA documentation.
A collection of the areas, or contiguous blocks of cells, within a selection.
Remarks
Theres no singular Area object; individual members of the Areas collection are Range objects. The Areas
collection contains one Range object for each discrete, contiguous range of cells within the selection. If the
selection contains only one area, the Areas collection contains a single Range object that corresponds to that
selection.
Example
Use the Areas property to return the Areas collection. The following example clears the current selection if it
contains more than one area.
VBA
If Selection.Areas.Count <> 1 Then Selection.Clear
Use Areas(index), where index is the area index number, to return a single Range object from the collection. The
index numbers correspond to the order in which the areas were selected. The following example clears the first
area in the current selection if the selection contains more than one area.
VBA
If Selection.Areas.Count <> 1 Then
Selection.Areas(1).Clear
End If
Some operations cannot be performed on more than one area in a selection at the same time; you must loop
through the individual areas in the selection and perform the operations on each area separately. The following
example performs the operation named "myOperation" on the selected range if the selection contains only one
area; if the selection contains multiple areas, the example performs myOperation on each individual area in the
selection.
VBA
Set rangeToUse = Selection
If rangeToUse.Areas.Count = 1 Then
myOperation rangeToUse
Else
For Each singleArea in rangeToUse.Areas
myOperation singleArea
Next

Note
When using AutoFilter with dates, the format should be consistent with English date separators ("/") instead of
local settings ("."). A valid date would be "2/2/2007", whereas "2.2.2007" is invalid.
Note
Working with objects (e g Interior Object) requires adding a reference to an object. You will find more
information about assigning an Object reference to a variable or property in the Set Statement.
Example
Use the AutoFilter property to return the AutoFilter object. Use the Filters property to return a collection of
individual column filters. Use the Range property to return the Range object that represents the entire filtered
range. The following example stores the address and filtering criteria for the current filtering and then applies new
filters.
VBA
Dim w As Worksheet
Dim filterArray()
Dim currentFiltRange As String
Sub ChangeFilters()
Set w = Worksheets("Crew")
With w.AutoFilter
currentFiltRange = .Range.Address
With .Filters
ReDim filterArray(1 To .Count, 1 To 3)
For f = 1 To .Count
With .Item(f)
If .On Then
filterArray(f, 1) = .Criteria1
If .Operator Then
filterArray(f, 2) = .Operator
filterArray(f, 3) = .Criteria2
End If
End If
End With
Next
End With
End With
w.AutoFilterMode = False
w.Range("A1").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="S"
End Sub
To create an AutoFilter object for a worksheet, you must turn autofiltering on for a range on the worksheet either
manually or using the AutoFilter method of the Range object. The following example uses the values stored in
module-level variables in the previous example to restore the original autofiltering to the Crew worksheet.
VBA
Sub RestoreFilters()
Set w = Worksheets("Crew")
w.AutoFilterMode = False
For col = 1 To UBound(filterArray(), 1)
If Not IsEmpty(filterArray(col, 1)) Then
If filterArray(col, 2) Then
w.Range(currentFiltRange).AutoFilter field:=col, _
Criteria1:=filterArray(col, 1), _
Operator:=filterArray(col, 2), _
Criteria2:=filterArray(col, 3)
Else
w.Range(currentFiltRange).AutoFilter field:=col, _
Criteria1:=filterArray(col, 1)
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
Note
When using AutoFilter with dates, the format should be consistent with English date separators ("/") instead of
local settings ("."). A valid date would be "2/2/2007", whereas "2.2.2007" is invalid.

If the cell contains a constant, this property returns the constant. If the cell is empty, this property returns an empty
string. If the cell contains a formula, the Formula property returns the formula as a string in the same format that
would be displayed in the formula bar (including the equal sign).
If you set the value or formula of a cell to a date, Microsoft Excel checks to see whether that cell is already
formatted with one of the date or time number formats. If not, Microsoft Excel changes the number format to the
default short date number format.
If the range is a one or two-dimensional range, you can set the formula to a Visual Basic array of the same
dimensions. Similarly, you can put the formula into a Visual Basic array.
Setting the formula for a multiple-cell range fills all cells in the range with the formula.

alculatedMembers Object (Excel)
Other Versions
A collection of all the CalculatedMember objects on the specified PivotTable.
Remarks
Each CalculatedMember object represents a calculated member or calculated measure.
Use the CalculatedMembers property of the PivotTable object to return a CalculatedMembers collection.
There are three supported types of calculated members: Named Sets, Calculated Measures, and Calculated
Members. Object model support has been available for all three of these types since Excel 2010. User interface
support was made available for Named Sets in Excel 2010. In Excel 2013, the OLAP Calculated Members and
Calculated Measures feature was created to build a user interface for the calculated members and measures object
model.
Named Sets are used exactly the same as in Excel 2010. Named Sets should continue to use the method
CalculatedMembers.CalculatedMembers.Add Method (Excel) and the type XlCalculatedMemberType
Enumeration (Excel).
Calculated Members have the following changes for Excel 2013:
They now use the method called CalculatedMembers.CalculatedMembers.AddCalculatedMember Method

(Excel).
They support the property CalculatedMember.ParentHierarchy Property (Excel).
They support the property CalculatedMember.ParentMember Property (Excel).
They support the property CalculatedMember.NumberFormat Property (Excel).
Calculated Measures have the following changes for Excel 2013:
They now use the method called CalculatedMembers.CalculatedMembers.AddCalculatedMember Method

(Excel).
They now use the type XlCalculatedMemberType Enumeration (Excel).
They support the property CalculatedMember.DisplayFolder Property (Excel).
They support the property CalculatedMember.NumberFormat Property (Excel).
Example
The following example adds a set to a PivotTable, assuming a PivotTable from the FoodMart SQL database exists
on the active worksheet.
VBA
Sub UseCalculatedMember()
pvtTable.CalculatedMembers.Add Name:="[Beef]", _
Formula:="'{[Product].[All Products].Children}'", _
Type:=xlCalculatedSet
End Sub
Note
For the Add method in the previous example, the Formula argument must have a valid MDX syntax statement.
The Name argument has to be acceptable to the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) provider and the Type
argument has to be defined.

update.
DisplayFolder Optional String The name of the display folder for the calculated member.
Specifies whether to order and remove duplicates when

HierarchizeDistinct Optional Boolean displaying the hierarchy of the calculated member in a
PivotTable report based on an OLAP cube.
Return Value
A CalculatedMember object that represents the new calculated field or calculated item.
Remarks
The Formula argument must contain a valid MDX (Multidimensional Expression) syntax statement. The Name
argument has to be acceptable to the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) provider and the Type argument has to
be defined.
If you set the Type argument of this method to xlCalculatedSet, then you must call the AddSet method to make
the new field set visible in the PivotTable.
Example
The following example adds a set to a PivotTable.
Note
Connection to the cube and existing pivot table is necessary for the sample to run.
VBA
Sub UseAddSet()
Dim pvtOne As PivotTable

Dim strAdd As String
Dim strFormula As String
Dim cbfOne As CubeField
Set pvtOne = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
strAdd = "[MySet]"
strFormula = "'{[Product].[All Products].[Food].children}'"
' Establish connection with data source if necessary.

If Not pvtOne.PivotCache.IsConnected Then pvtOne.PivotCache.MakeConnection
' Add a calculated member titled "[MySet]"

pvtOne.CalculatedMembers.Add Name:=strAdd, _
Formula:=strFormula, Type:=xlCalculatedSet
' Add a set to the CubeField object.

Set cbfOne = pvtOne.CubeFields.AddSet(Name:="[MySet]", _
Caption:="My Set")
End Sub
CalculatedMembers.AddCalculatedMember Method (Excel)
Adds a calculated field or calculated item to a PivotTable.
Syntax
expression
.AddCalculatedMember(Name,Formula,SolveOrder,Type,DisplayFolder,MeasureGroup,ParentHierarchy,ParentM
ember,NumberFormat)
Parameters
Name Required/Optional Data type Description
Name Required STRING The name of the calculated member.
Formula Required VARIANT The formula of the calculated member.

SolveOrder Optional VARIANT The solve order for the calculated member.
Type Optional VARIANT The type of calculated member.
DisplayFolder Optional VARIANT A folder that exists to display calculated measures.
MeasureGroup Optional VARIANT The group to which the calculated belongs.
ParentHierarchy Optional VARIANT The parent path of the ParentMember.
ParentMember Optional VARIANT The parent of the calculated member.
NumberFormat Optional VARIANT The format of numbers used for calculated members.
Return value
CALCULATEDMEMBER
Remarks
The Formula argument must have a valid MDX (multidimensional expression) syntax statement. The Name
argument has to be acceptable to the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) provider.
DisplayFolder: Display folders are only valid for calculated measures. They are not valid for calculated
members. The string can have semicolons ; in it. Semicolons designate multiple display folders. For
example, if you use the string my folder1;myfolder2 then the calculated measure will show in two display
folders one named myfolder1 the other named ?myfolder2?. The string can have backslashes \. This
designates a hierarchical path for the display folder. For example, if you use the string welcome\to\seattle
there will be a display folder called welcome that contains a display folder called to which contains a
display folder called seattle. Display folders are virtual folders.? They do not really exist in the same sense
that we think of system folders. They only exist for purposes of displaying the calculated measures.
NumberFormat: The number formats can only be set by macros. There is no user interface for setting
them. This is the only property that cannot be set via the user interface. The type is always
xlNumberFormatTypeDefault when a calculated member is created via the user interface. The number
formats are only valid for calculated members. They are not valid for calculated measures.
ParentHierarchy: The parent hierarchy can be any valid MDX hierarchy. Parent hierarchies are only valid
for calculated members. They are not valid for calculated measures. If a parent member is chosen that is in
a different parent hierarchy, the parent hierarchy will be automatically changed to match the parent
hierarchy of the parent member. For example, assume the following macro for a calculated member:
T-SQL
OLEDBConnection.CalculatedMembers.AddCalculatedMember Name:="[UK+US]", _
Formula:= _
"[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[United Kingdom] + [Customer].
[Customer Geography].[Country].&[United States] " _
, Type:=xlCalculatedMember, SolveOrder:=0, ParentHierarchy:= _
"[Account].[Accounts]", ParentMember:= _
"[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Australia]", NumberFormat:= _
xlNumberFormatTypePercent
In this case you have specified that the parent member is from the [Customer].[Customer Geography]
hierarchy yet you have given the parent hierarchy as [Account].[Accounts]. When the member is created, it
will use the parent hierarchy of the parent member which is [Customer].[Customer Geography] and when
you look in the Manage Calculations dialog in the UI, it will show [Customer].[Customer Geography] as
the parent hierarchy rather than the one specified in the macro, i.e. [Account].[Accounts].
Example
The following code sample adds a calculated measure to a PivotTable.
Note
In both of these samples, the PivotTable must be refreshed after creating the calculation in order to view it in the
user interface.
VBA
Sub AddCalculatedMeasure()
Dim pvt As PivotTable

Dim strName As String
Dim strDisplayFolder As String
Dim strMeasureGroup As String
Set pvt = Sheet1.PivotTables("PivotTable1")

strName = "[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount 25 %]"
strFormula = "[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]*1.25"
strDisplayFolder = "My Folder\Percent Calculations"
strMeasureGroup = "Internet Sales"
pvt.CalculatedMembers. AddCalculatedMember Name:=strName, Formula:=strFormula,

Type:=xlCalculatedMeasure, DisplayFolder:=strDisplayFolder, MeasureGroup:=strMeasureGroup,
NumberFormat:=xlNumberFormatTypePercent

CalloutFormat.AutoAttach Property (Excel)
Other Versions
True if the place where the callout line attaches to the callout text box changes depending on whether the origin of
the callout line (where the callout points to) is to the left or right of the callout text box. Read/write MsoTriState.
Syntax
expression .AutoAttach
Remarks
msoCTrue
msoFalse
msoTriStateMixed
msoTriStateToggle
msoTrue. The place where the callout line attaches to the callout text box changes depending on whether the
origin of the callout line (where the callout points to) is to the left or right of the callout text box.
When the value of this property is True, the drop value (the vertical distance from the edge of the callout text box
to the place where the callout line attaches) is measured from the top of the text box when the text box is to the
right of the origin, and its measured from the bottom of the text box when the text box is to the left of the origin.
When the value of this property is False, the drop value is always measured from the top of the text box,
regardless of the relative positions of the text box and the origin. Use the CustomDrop method to set the drop
value, and use the Drop property to return the drop value.
Setting this property affects a callout only if it has an explicitly set drop value that is, if the value of the
DropType property is msoCalloutDropCustom. By default, callouts have explicitly set drop values when theyre
created.
Example
This example adds two callouts to myDocument. If you drag the text box for each of these callouts to the left of
the callout line origin, the place on the text box where the callout line attaches will change for the automatically
attached callout.
VBA

With myDocument.Shapes
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "auto-attached"
.Callout.AutoAttach = True
End With
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "not auto-attached"
.Callout.AutoAttach = False
End With

Characters Object (Excel)
Other Versions
Represents characters in an object that contains text.

The Characters object lets you modify any sequence of characters contained in the full text string.
Use Characters(start, length), where start is the start character number and length is the number of characters, to
return a Characters object.

VBA
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1")

The Characters method is necessary only when you need to change some of an objects text without affecting the
rest (you cannot use the Characters method to format a portion of the text if the object doesnt support rich text).
To change all the text at the same time, you can usually apply the appropriate method or property directly to the
object. The following example formats the contents of cell A5 as italic.
VBA
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5").Font.Italic = True
