Default vlookup data in a dynamic pivot table?

Getpivotdata can pull any information depending on the criteria you
give. You can find examples of how to write Getpivotdata in Microsoft help.

If you provide more details on the layout of your pivot table, and the
field you want to return, i can type in an example of how the formula
would look like.

Doesn't GetPivotData only return grand total information? I was hoping to
reference the pivottable in the vlookup function like you would a list or
external data source.

Hi,

Try using the Getpivotdata formula to extract information out of a
dynamic pivot.

Is it possible to use vlookup to get data from a pivot table by entering the
pivot table name as the array to look up? I have tried but cannot get it to
work.
