Can you pivot a table using a formula on a different sheet?
I am trying to create a sheet where I enter the parameters that I want and it
connects to a pivot table and pivots it to match my criteria. My boss insists he does not want to see a pivot table or any variation of design of it. He has a set form he wants to retrieve data from. I already have a if formula set to fetch the data back from the pivot table, I just need to know if you can pivot it from an external sheet with a formula? |

You can use the GetPivotData function to extract data from a pivot
table.

I don't actual want to extract the data so much as force the pivot from a
different sheet. I have to be able to type "A" in to a cell on one sheet and have it pivot category letters to "A" on the pivot table. Is that something that can even be done?

You can do this with programming. There's a sample file here that may
give you some ideas: http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Pivot Tables, look for 'PT0016 - Change Page Fields With Cell Dropdown' maressaporter wrote: I don't actual want to extract the data so much as force the pivot from a different sheet.
