Example

The following example adds a set to a PivotTable, assuming a PivotTable exists on the active worksheet.

Visual Basic for Applications 
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
