....how to disable this yet?
Also when I try to reference a single pivot table cell it is defaulting to
something like
=GETPIVOTDATA("Gradient",$A$3,"Focus",100,"col",2, "row",2,"xpos",7680,"ypos",7800)
instead of a the simple relative reference =A3. This is ludicrous and is
driving me nuts. Can I change it?

Most of the other features are fine, some even really good. But when they
muck around with the fundamental interface (removing the "=" and replacing it
with a clumsy "for idiots" popup) I get pretty ****ed off and want to go back
to 2000.
It slows me down.
