GETPIVOTDATA
Thanks--that's what I thought...
So it's fair to say that GETPIVOTDATA is dynamic, in the sense that using it
with a pivot table whose data is refreshed will insure that calculations
using the pviot table data are updated. Whereas a direct cell reference will
not.
This answers a bunch of questions

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?
