This is part of a pivot table. You cannot just type =GETPIVOTDATA(
You may need to refresh the pivot table when you open file in another
version of Excel.
best wishes

Or even turn it on if the feature has been turned off. Add the pivot table
Toolbar and look for the GETPIVOTDATA icon.

arguments, in excel 2003 there is another version of this function (16
args). I think I need replace library (dll) with this funcction, but ido not
konow what file...

Not sure whether it might help here, but try Debra's page at:

If you create the GetPivotData in Excel 2000, it should return a valid
result in Excel 2003. However, Excel 2000 will return an error for a
GetPivotData formula created in Excel 2003.
