VBA to Check for and Remove/Add Calculated Pivot Field

Hi all, I have the code below where I am trying to first check if a specific calculated field (sField, derived from a button name) already exist in the pivot and then if it does, remove it, if it doesn't, then add it. Parts of the code works but Im currently stuck on the IF where I am checking if the field exist in the table. I've tried many variations, the one below was one last ditch effort. I suspect that there is confusion happening between what the field is called before entering the table (sField) and then which I am naming sField " Calc" on this line: pt.AddDataField pt.PivotFields(sField), sField + " Calc", xlSum . But maybe Im way off base, any help would be great!


VBA Code:
Sub Toggle_PercentCalc_Field()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim sField As String
Dim shp As Shape
  Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
  Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
  sField = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text
  Dim pi As PivotItem

 If pt.DataFields(sField).Parent.PivotItems(.Name) = Visible Then
 
  For Each pf In pt.DataFields
    If pf.SourceName = "TC %" Then Exit For
  Next
  pf.DataRange.Cells(1, 1).PivotItem.Visible = False
  
  shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0.5
  Else
  
 pt.AddDataField pt.PivotFields(sField), sField + " Calc", xlSum
  pt.PivotFields(sField + " Calc").NumberFormat = "0.0%"
shp.Fill.ForeColor.Brightness = 0
 End If
 
End Sub
