Function in xl2003 not working in xl97

[Guest]

Hi All,

I have a dilemma. I'll explain the whole story. I have a spreadsheet which
has two pivot tables.
The first is a pivot table that has employees down the left, week numbers
across the top and a count of call number in the data area.
The second pivot is the same however has a field avoidable in the page area
which is set to Yes.
on the third sheet I have a table with all the employees on the left, the
week numbers across the top and the formula:

GETPIVOTDATA("Call Ref",'Avoidables by Person'!$B$5,"Advisor",$A7,"Week
No",B$6)

As the week numbers change I've referenced that value in B6 so if I look on
3 weeks it will go through B6, C6 & D6 etc.

This function was working with Excel 2003 however fails in Excel 97. Does
anybody know why?

I have Excel 2000 on this machine, and GETPIVOTDATA only has 2 arguments
here, pivot_table and name. I don't have 2003, but if that can take 4
arguments, it seems the function has been enhanced, and 97 just doesn't
support those extra arguments.

Bob is correct. The GETPIVOTDATA hass been altered as of Excel 2002.
You can look at this web page for a quick run down:
