Name

pivottable.DisplayErrorString [= setting]

Synopsis

True displays a custom error when pivot table cells contain errors; False displays the standard error. Default is False.

Set this property to True and ErrorString to "" to turn off error messages, such as #DIV/0!, in the data area of a pivot table. The following code switches error messages on and off for a pivot table on the active worksheet:

Sub ToggleDataFieldErrors(  )
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    ' Run CreateOLAPPivotTable to create this pivot table.
    Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
    ' Turn error messages on/off.
     pt.DisplayErrorString = Not pt.DisplayErrorString
     pt.ErrorString = ""
End Sub
