Pivot Table Data - Troubleshoot needed
I am trying to use the getpivotdata formula and am stubbling on some problems with the formula I am using. =GETPIVOTDATA("Count",Sheet4!$A$6,"Objective ","001","Objective Title","External Service Management","Sub OC","CMP") I am basically trying to get data (for a summary sheet) from a pivot table, however the pivot table does not display a heading which has no data. So if my formula was asking for the pivot table to gather data from a column titled Ext Service Management it comes back as a "REF" as the pivot table is not showing any for that particular title as there are none. Question is how can I get either: 1. the pivot table to show the title even if no data is there 2. how I can change the formula to return a nil value is there is no title and no data? -- aly1cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aly1cat's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4560 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=567901 |

1. You can double-click on a field button, and add a check mark to 'Show
items with no data' 2. You can use an IF function with the GetPivotData function. For example: =IF(ISERROR(GETPIVOTDATA("Units",$A$6,"Item",F9)), 0, GETPIVOTDATA("Units",$A$6,"Item",F9)) aly1cat wrote: I am trying to use the getpivotdata formula and am stubbling on some problems with the formula I am using. =GETPIVOTDATA("Count",Sheet4!$A$6,"Objective ","001","Objective Title","External Service Management","Sub OC","CMP") I am basically trying to get data (for a summary sheet) from a pivot table, however the pivot table does not display a heading which has no data.

Also, I do not want to test the error, I just want it to look for the item and if it is not in the pivot table, then just report it back as a "0". Is this possible? -- aly1cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aly1cat's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4560 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=567901 |

If the pivot table layout won't change, you could use the Match function
to look for an item in a range. There are examples he http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html If the function returns a number, the item was found. But the GetPivotData function may be easiest to use, to test if the item is in the pivot table. Using your example: =IF(ISERROR(GETPIVOTDATA("Count",$A$6,"Objective", "001", "Objective Title","External Service Management","Sub OC","CMP")) 0, GETPIVOTDATA("Count",$A$6,"Objective ","001", "Objective Title","External Service Management","Sub OC","CMP")) aly1cat wrote: Also, I do not want to test the error, I just want it to look for the item and if it is not in the pivot table, then just report it back as a "0".
