Please help...
I have this pivot table:


Check Date 12/31/09

Hours Worked
DepartmentId EeoClass Sex Employee ID Total
200 1 M JONES001 40
300 1 M JOHNSON0001 40
500 1 F JEN001 40
M DOUBLA00001 40
GER001 40
LUK001 40
SMITH000001 40
2 F BOU001 40
Grand Total 320

EEOC is actually the column with 1 and 2 and the vlookup is:
Code Description
1 White
2 Black or African American
3 Hispanic or Latino
4 Asian
5 American Indian or an Alaskan Native
6 Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
7 Two or more races
I am having an issue using the vlookup with a pivot table. I have seen it
used in the past but not working for me.

Thanks so much to anyone that can help!

Right, right, well, you need to use the =getpivotdata() function. Take a
look at this:

If that doesn't get you going, search for a couple more 'getpivotdata'
videos. It take a bit to get your mind around it at first, but I know soon
you will be up to speed with these kinds of things!

HTH,

when you do the VLOOKUP, are you clicking on the referenced cell? If so,
you'll notice the VLOOKUP( will have a whole PIVOTTABLE data set that looks
for the specific value. To avoid this, in yoru first set, just manually type
the value, so =VLOOKUP(B5, then hghlight your EEOC table ,2,0)

HTH!
