how do I link pivot table data into a separate document?
 
I created a tab in the pivot table document with links to the pivot table
using the GETPIVOTDATA function. Then I moved the tab with the links into a
new file. When I closed the new file and opened it back up, I am full of
Reference errors. The GETPIVOTDATA function formula looks fine but does not
give me the data that I need.

Does anyone have any idea why?

The GETPIVOTDATA function, like some other functions, only returns data
for references in the same file, or another open file.

If you open the other workbook, the formula results should work correctly.
