Pivot Tables & Vlookups

[John Pivot Table]

I´m trying to link a vlookup to a Pivot table, the problem is that every time
I change a parameter in the report filter, the number of columns in the table
changes; which messes up my formulas.

Is there a way to lock it?

You could try INDEX/MATCH. Take a look at:

Another way to extract data from a pivot table is with a GetPivotData
formula. There's information and examples here:
