The procedure of  ab initio  structure solution from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data is successfully applied to a series of Y 2– x  Ca  x  BaNiO 5  compounds (0 ≤  x  ≤ 0.33). The study aimed at understanding if the presence of dopants in polycrystalline Y 2 BaNiO 5  compound can influence the success of the structure determination process and at quantifying the substitutional defect. The new code EXPO has been used to obtain the most accurate set of structure factor moduli and to perform the direct methods procedure. It is demonstrated that the substitution on a crystallographic site, as for the above mentioned compound, does not compromise the performance of direct methods. The structural parameters obtained for samples with different  x  values are compared with those reported in the literature. It is pointed out that the knowledge of the dependence of lattice parameter and cell volume values on the cation site occupancy factors allows the direct determination of the degree of substitution of calcium on yttrium site of the sample.
