            <li>If the member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::HasAutoStart
            </member> is set to <FALSE/>, then the value of <member>

            the value of <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::Start</member> will
            be ignored).</li>

            <li>If the member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::HasAutoEnd
            </member> is set to <FALSE/>, then the value of <member>
            DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::End</member> must be a floating-point
            value representing a valid date/time value( if <member>
            DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::HasAutoEnd</member> is set to <TRUE/>,
            the value of <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::End</member> will be
            ignored).</li>

            </member> and <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::HasAutoEnd</member>
            are set to <FALSE/> both, then the value of <member>
            DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::Start</member> must be less than or equal
            to the value of <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::End</member>.</li>

            <li>The member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::HasDateValues</member>
            must be set to <TRUE/>.</li>

            <li>The member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::Step</member> must
            be zero, unless ranges of days have to be grouped (see the
            description of the member GroupBy below), in that case the value
            must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 32767.
            The fractional part of the value will be ignored.</li>

            <li>The member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::GroupBy</member>
            must contain exactly one of the flags from <type>DataPilotFieldGroupBy</type>.
            A combination of several flags will not be accepted. If
            <const>DataPilotFieldGroupBy::DAYS</const> is specified, the
            value of the member <member>DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::Step</member>
            will specify the type of day grouping (see above). If that value
            is zero, grouping is performed on all days of the year (e.g. the
            members containing the 1st of January of any year are grouped
            together). If that value is greater than zero, grouping is done on
            ranges of days, and the value specifies the number of days grouped
            into one range (e.g. a value of 7 groups the members of a week
            into a range).</li>

            <li>The contents of the member <member>
            DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::SourceField</member> will be ignored.</li>

            <li>The contents of the member <member>
            DataPilotFieldGroupInfo::Groups</member> will be ignored.</li>
            </ul>

            if the passed struct does not contain valid settings as described,
