Hello Friend;
 
    Good Morning;
   
  How are you ?
 
    I tried  to attach workbook with 2 worksheets to learn 1 Conditional formatting formula which exist in  both List 1 , but not in List 2,  AND  another conditional
    formatting formula  which exist   in both List 1 and List 2 , Then, moved 1 worksheet from those 2 worksheets and  tried to attach 1 worksheet, but it is
    much more than 512 KB which is allowed here. Same exact problem with another worksheet, so can you please send me 2 good articles for above
    features.  Kiss
 
      Also, I am trying  to get correct result from GETPIVOTDATA function,  workbook is attached,  keep getting #REF! error as  shown in cell R23.  Can you
     please advise me as to  what I am doing wrong in entering this function.  Kiss
 
    Thank you very much.
 
      Have a great day.
 
      Sincerely;
 
     Mitul

Hello Mitul,

To start with, this article describes why you get a #REF! error and how you can correct it.

Secondly, this article describes the GETPIVOTDATA function. Another article, in my view a better one, is written by Mynda and you find it in the blog section or by clicking on this link.

Lastly, the error you made is that you use SALESPERSON as a field reference when the actual name in the Pivot Table is Name. So change following

=(GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of Dollars",$R$8,"SALESPERSON","Jen","Product","lipstick"))

to

=(GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of Dollars",$R$8,"Name","Jen","Product","lipstick"))

and you will get the result, which is 3953.300132.

Even if you change name of any header in the Pivot Table, you need to stick with the headers you have in the table columns when referencing to them.

Br,
Anders
