IPivotTable.IsStairCell

Syntax

IsStairCell(Row: Integer; Column: Integer): Boolean;

Description

The IsStairCell property returns whether stairs hierarchy is used in a cell.

Parameters

Row. Cell row index.

Column. Cell column index.

Comments

The property returns True if a cell is a hierarchy step.

Example

Executing the example requires an express report with the EXPRESS identifier. In the report, on the Layout sidehead tab, the use of stairs hierarchy for titles should be enabled (see Use Stairs Hierarchy or StairsHierarchy). At least two dimensions should be present in the sidehead.

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

Sub UserProc;
Var
   MB: IMetabase;
    Express: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Pivot: IPivot;
    Table: IPivotTable;
Begin
    // Get repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get express report
    Express := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get display settings for report data table
    Pivot := Express.Pivot;
    // Get table properties
    Table := Pivot.ObtainTable;
    // Check if cell is a hierarchy step
    If Table.IsStairCell(0, 0) Then
        Debug.WriteLine("Table cell is a hierarchy step");
    Else
        Debug.WriteLine("Table cell is not a hierarchy step");
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example it is checked if the cell is a hierarchy step, and the console displays the appropriate message.
