Figure 236: Formula reference to a cell of the DataPilot
If the underlying data or the layout of the DataPilot changes, then you must take into
account that the sales value for Hans might appear in a different cell. Your formula
still references the cell C6 and therefore uses a wrong value. The correct value is in a
different location. For example, in Figure 237, the location is now C7.
Figure 237: The value that you really want to use can be found now
in a different location.
The function GETPIVOTDATA allows you to have a reference to a value inside the
DataPilot by using the specific identifying categories for this value.
Syntax
The syntax has two variations:
GETPIVOTDATA(target field, DataPilot; [ Field name / Element; ... ])
GETPIVOTDATA(DataPilot; specification)
