Executing the example requires that the repository contains a data entry form with the DEF identifier containing a table area with configured grouping in the sidehead.

Add links to the Express, Metabase and Report system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Report: IPrxReport;
    Area: IEaxDataArea;
    Slice: IEaxDataAreaPivotSlice;
    Hier: IEaxHierarchiesGroupSettings;
    HierGroup: IEaxHierarchyGroupSettings;
Begin
    // Get repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get form child object
    Report := MB.ItemById("DEF").Children.Item(0).Edit As IPrxReport;
    // Get analytical area of child object
    Area := Report.DataArea;
    // Get analytical data area slice
    Slice := Area.Slices.Item(0) As IEaxDataAreaPivotSlice;
    // Get properties of groupings collection
    Hier := Slice.EaxHierarchiesGroupSettings;
    // Get grouping properties
    HierGroup := Hier.EaxHierarhyGroupSettings(0);
    Debug.WriteLine("Empty grouping elements are displayed: " + HierGroup.CreateElemForEmptyAttr.ToString);
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console window displays the result of displaying empty grouping elements.
