  Hello Friend;

Hello Mitul,

As I wrote in a previous reply, you need to check the table header names in the Pivot Table.

Your formula is: =GETPIVOTDATA("Order Amount Total";$C$8:$U$17;"Name";"Bromley";"YEAR"; 2011)

The table headers in your Pivot Table are:
Country
Salesperson
Order Date
OrderID
Units
Order Amount
Quarters
Years

So, remove Total so you have "Order Amount". Change Name to Salesperson and add an S in YEAR so you get "YEARS". You also have a space in front of 2011, so that needs to be removed to.

Your formula should now look like this: =GETPIVOTDATA("Order Amount";$C$8:$U$17;"Salesperson";"Bromley";"YEARS";2011)

Your formula is correct, you just reference with wrong table header names.

Br,
Anders
