Is there any way to disable the "getpivotdata" automatic formula?
In Excel 2003, I notice that when I reference a cell in a Pivot Table for a
formula outside the table, Excel assumes that I want to use the GetPivotData formula. Then, I am unable to drag the formula cell, as the the values in the formula are locked. Is there any way to disable this function or change to a regular formula (such as by pressing F4 to freeze or not freeze references). I relaize that I can manually type in the reference, but this takes much longer. Thanks. |
There are instructions here for adding the Generate GetPivotData button
to a toolbar, and toggling the feature on and off: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot06.html BGN wrote: In Excel 2003, I notice that when I reference a cell in a Pivot Table for a formula outside the table, Excel assumes that I want to use the GetPivotData formula.
