Can getpivotdata use a cell reference?

[Bryon Scruggs]

In previous versions of Excel it was possible to use a cell reference in a
getpivotdata formula. I’m not able to do this in Excel 2007.

Example:
Excel automatically generates this formula
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered
Impressions]",$A$27,"[Time].[Dates]","[Time].[Dates].[Month].[august 2008]")

I try and replace the “august 2008†with a cell reference like H1, but this
generates a #REF! error. I’ve played around with the syntax but nothing seems
to work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bryon,

I am not familiar with XL2007 however could it be that the formula does not
recognize due to the fact you have to convert it to string.

Maybe something like this works:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered
Impressions]",$A$27,"[Time].[Dates]","[Time].[Dates].[Month]."&H1)

Nope. Neither of these formulas work:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered
Impressions]",$A$4,"[Placement].[Placement Site
Alias]","[Placement].[Placement Site Alias].&[b1]")

=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered
Impressions]",$A$4,"[Placement].[Placement Site
Alias]","[Placement].[Placement Site Alias].[&b1]")

Let it be known to all that Glen rules. If I am the data monkey he is the
data ape.

=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Impressions: Delivered

Thanks (I think)! Glad I could help.
