expression   A variable that represents a ListDataFormat object.

Example

The following example displays the setting of the DefaultValue property for the third column of the table in Sheet1 of the active workbook. This code requires a list linked to a SharePoint site.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ShowDefaultSetting()
    Dim wrksht As Worksheet
    Dim objListCol As ListColumn
   
    Set wrksht = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Set objListCol = wrksht.ListObjects(1).ListColumns(3)

If IsNull(objListCol.ListDataFormat.<strong>DefaultValue</strong>) Then
    MsgBox "No default value specified."
Else
    MsgBox objListCol.ListDataFormat.<strong>DefaultValue</strong>
End If



End Sub
