Dave,

If you change the PT, GETPIVOTDATA will still retrieve the correct data - your cell reference won't.

Does anyone have an opinion about the utility of this function? I've just
been handed a spreadsheet with a bunch of pivot tables, and a bunch of
calculations which use the GETPIVOTDATA function.

My take is it's easier just to enter the cell reference of the pivot table
value you want to use in a calculation. Am I missing something here? What
are the advantages, if any, of the GETPIVOTDATA function?
