For what it's worth, my considerations:
- As per Don, you can use Sumproduct. You'd need to write slightly
more sophisticated formulas than usual and you might get a performance
hit. But in this case it's all real time once the formula has been
written.
- You could still use the benefits of pivot table by using the
GetPivotDate formula. You still need to have a pivot somewhere (hidden
sheet or something) that needs to be refreshed but you'll have your
own formatting as desired. The formula is more user friendly than
Sumproduct.
- You can do it via VBA but then you'll need to run it on regular
basis anyway.

What makes Pivot to not be the obvious choice? What don't you like
about it?

Borders, for one
Coloring and formatting, for two
Having to use supporting functions like:
Refreshing, deleting missing items, sorting, disabling/enabling etc.
