Using Pivot Table Values

[mgross]

Hi,

Is there any other function to retrieve pivot table values rather than "getpivottable()." The reason I ask is that I find myself manually entering a lot of formulae rather using autocomplete as it does not seem to work no matter what I try when using pivot tables. Is there a way to make the pivot table "seem" like a regular spreadsheet and I can just use the values that appear as though they are in the cells that they appear in (ie. Can I use =R44 rather than "getpivottable("blah","blah", etc...)"? I am performing an analysis on the data that comes out of a pivot table (and yes, it is being updated a lot so I cannot just copy and paste it into another worksheet) on the right of the pivot table. Everytime I update the table (and say it adds rows and/or columns) is there a way that I would NOT have to update my formulae each time?

Thanks in advance,

Ah, yes....the occaissionally despised GetPivotData function.

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions on how to rid yourself of that annoyance. :D

Does that help?
