Can getpivotdata use a cell reference?
In previous versions of Excel it was possible to use a cell reference in a
getpivotdata formula. Im not able to do this in Excel 2007. Example: Excel automatically generates this formula =GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered Impressions]",$A$27,"[Time].[Dates]","[Time].[Dates].[Month].[august 2008]") I try and replace the €śaugust 2008€ť with a cell reference like H1, but this generates a #REF! error. Ive played around with the syntax but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks, The Datamonkey |

Bryon,
I am not familiar with XL2007 however could it be that the formula does not recognize due to the fact you have to convert it to string. Maybe something like this works: =GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered Impressions]",$A$27,"[Time].[Dates]","[Time].[Dates].[Month]."&H1) HTH, Brotha lee "Bryon Scruggs" wrote: In previous versions of Excel it was possible to use a cell reference in a getpivotdata formula.

Nope. Neither of these formulas work:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered Impressions]",$A$4,"[Placement].[Placement Site Alias]","[Placement].[Placement Site Alias].&[b1]") =GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered Impressions]",$A$4,"[Placement].[Placement Site Alias]","[Placement].[Placement Site Alias].[&b1]") "Brotha Lee" wrote: Bryon, I am not familiar with XL2007 however could it be that the formula does not recognize due to the fact you have to convert it to string.
