I am looking to have the cell formula referencing a cell in a pivot chart to
be a simple cell refernce and not the underlying " get Pivot data formula
instead" e.g. if the pivot chart range is A1: K25 and my formula in cell
m1 needs to reference the value in the pivot table cell J20 I should simply
be able to go to cell M1, type an +sign and click on cell J20 on the pivot
chart to get cell M1 formula as =J20. However, I am getting
=GETPIVOTDATA.........etc instead. How do I turn this off?

I did not have this issue on my old system which had the same excel version
i.e 2003. So I do believe there is some setting where this can be
changed.
ANyone else knows the answer to this???

If you don't want to show the pivot formula you'll need to manually type
the
address of the cell you want to reference instead of clicking it. If you
want
to reference the value at J50 then type "=J50"

Thanks,
Matt

My worksheet has a refence to a cell in a pivot chart. Instead of the
formula being R1C1 type it is referncing the formula within the
refereced
cell...eg. it is returnig someting like =GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sys
Qty]",$A$15,"[Period Day]","[Period Day].[Q206].[JUL].[FW200622]")
instead of
me simply wanting =j50. How do I do that?
