    Remove 'GETPIVOTDATA'

    Hi All,

    I was wondering whether someone could help me with the below.

    I have a pivot table and then there are some other formulas which are linked to it. The formulas were already linked and therefore when I go to Options and untick 'Generate GetPivot Data' the previously linked formulas are still showing as such.

    I would like to have the formulas display normally

    Is there a way to go about it?

    Appreciate a lot your kind help.

    Thanks

    Keibri

    Hi,

    You would have to manually reset the references. It may be possible to parse the formulas in code to determine the correct reference but I suspect it would be time consuming to write such a code. Why do you want to convert them?

    hi Keibri. what do you mean by displaying "normally"? the GETPIVOTDATA formula is normal like any other formulas. so what are you expecting it to display as?

    i have uploaded a sample for you to see how GETPIVOTDATA works. in cell J4, i used GETPIVOTDATA to help me get the Amt of Company A. in cell K4, i referenced it to cell G4. both gives me the Amt of Company A. but both mean different things. the former will always give me the Amt of Company A, no matter how the Pivot changes. the latter will always give me the Amt inside cell G4.

    select Year 2016 in the Slicer (blue button) and you will see the Amt shown differently. GETPIVOTDATA still gives me Amt for Company A.
    and cell K4 shows me the Amt for cell G4 (which is now not for Company A).

    so if "normally" means to refer to cell references, then no. if "normally is to see the numbers without the GETPIVOTDATA formula, then copy and paste values to the range (mine would be cell J4)

    Hi benishiryo,

    Thanks for that, that was very helpful.

    I was trying to have the existing formulas refer to cell references rather than having getpivotdata. Which I get is not possible?

    Thanks a lot

    Hi xlnitwit,

    Thanks for your input. Will try and see if I can work around it. I have a very big excel file with numerous links to a pivot table and would like to determine the references.

    Thanks
