Message: [QUOTE="Nirmalya Choudhury, post: 7427699"] I have a pivot table that is connected to a data model as the data source for the pivot table. The data model is connected to a SQL Server. I am using the data in the pivot table to populate a dashboard where I am using the getpivotdata function. The problem with getpivotdata I am facing is that the arguments in the getpivotdata are referencing the data table in the data model e.g. =GETPIVOTDATA ("[Measures].[Count of Activity Type]",'DD View Pivots'!$A$3, "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Area (Regarding)]","[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Area (Regarding)].&[United States]", "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Note2]","[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Note2].&[Calls]", "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Week]","[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Week].&[This Week]") When I try to change the item reference to certain cells in my output dashboard I get a #REF issue. e.g. =GETPIVOTDATA ("[Measures].[Count of Activity Type]",'DD View Pivots'!$A$3, "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Area (Regarding)]",G$2 "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Note2]",$C5, "[v_rpt_ActivitySummary].[Week]",$D7) will give me a #REF issue. I would like to change the Items in my arguments into cell references. Is there any way to fix this reference issue? Thanks, Nirmalya. [/QUOTE]
