how to convert GETPIVOTDATA from excel 2000 to excel 2002...

I have a excel file which was created in excel 2000 and is using getpivotdata
function. The function returns #REF when the file is opened in excel 2002 or
excel 2003. Is that anyway that I can convert function Getpivotdata from
excel 2000 to excel 2002 so that the file can be opened in excel 2002?

I don't know of any way to convert the formula. However, it's easier to
create a GETPIVOTDATA formula in Excel 2002 or Excel 2003. Turn on the
Generate GetPivotData feature (there are instructions here:

Then, click on the cell that you want to reference, and the formula will
be automatically created.
