getpivotdata custom subtotal
Hi all, hope somebody can help me
I'm trying to get some data from a pivot table When I was using automatic subtotals I was able to use the formula: =GETPIVOTDATA("assessment2",$B$15,"Trainee",D2,"Pr ocess Skill",C2,"Level",B2) When I changed to 'min' subtotals I got a #ref error and tried: =GETPIVOTDATA($B$15,"Trainee[a] 'Test1' Level['2';Min]") (where 'Test1' is a 'Process Skill') Is it possible to modify this formula to include cell references (i.e. B2, C2, and D2 as above) Thanks |

Apparently I don't follow your problem. A GETPIVOTDATA function will work
regardless of whether the subtotals are SUM or MIN. And although I don't understand your question, if you have a formula like =GETPIVOTDATA("Gross Sales",$G$3,"Region","East") You can change the "Region" or "East" reference to a cell address, even one that is not in the pivot table. However, to return any resonable result the entries in those cells must match a field title. =GETPIVOTDATA("Gross Sales",$G$3,A1,B1) Is fine, and would return the same result if A1 contained the text Region and B1 East. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "anna_717717" wrote: Hi all, hope somebody can help me I'm trying to get some data from a pivot table When I was using automatic subtotals I was able to use the formula: =GETPIVOTDATA("assessment2",$B$15,"Trainee",D2,"Pr ocess Skill",C2,"Level",B2) When I changed to 'min' subtotals I got a #ref error and tried: =GETPIVOTDATA($B$15,"Trainee[a] 'Test1' Level['2';Min]") (where 'Test1' is a 'Process Skill') Is it possible to modify this formula to include cell references (i.e. B2, C2, and D2 as above) Thanks |

Hi Shane
I tried this formula: =GETPIVOTDATA("assessment2",$B$15,"Trainee",D2,"Pr ocess Skill",C2,"Level",B2) but got a #ref error. The only explainations I could find for the error was that when referencing to a specific cell that the formula excel will automatically generate (=GETPIVOTDATA($B$15,"Trainee[a] 'Test1' Level['2';Data,Min]") ) is wrong and has to be corrected to =GETPIVOTDATA($B$15,"Trainee[a] 'Test1' Level['2';Min]") Unfortunately I don't understand how I can change this formaula to reference cells, for example rather than trainee 'a' it would call up whatever value was is cell D2.

You can substitute the "a" in the formula like this:

Thank you very much for your feedback. Works great.
Is it possible to sustitute the 'Test1' and '2' in the formula as well?

Yes, you can replace those too. '=GETPIVOTDATA($B$15,"Trainee[" & D2 & "] '" & C2 & "' Level['" & B2 & "';Min]") anna_717717 wrote: Thank you very much for your feedback. Works great.
