HOW TO EXTRACT (or lookup) DATA FROM A PIVOT TABLE

[SSJ]

Hello!

Sheet 1 contains the raw data. Sales and cost of sales for customers.
Sheet 2 contains the pivot table that summarizes the data in sheet 1.

In Sheet 3(a further summary of the Pivot Table), I would like to put in the customer name and extract the related sales and cost of sales numbers from the pivot table. How can I extract the desired information?

Regards
SJ

You can use the GetPivotData function to extract data from a pivot
table. There are instructions in Excel's help, and here:
