Pivot tables
I use Pivot tables already, but I can't automate the last function I need to perform.
If I have two pivot tables (one of internal data and one is external data), they are copied one under the other and I need to find differences between the two, but if I click on a cell in the one macro and subtract from a cell in the other macro, it will return a value, but if I autofill a section from this formula,it doesn't work. The only way the formula will work is if I actually type the cell reference i.e A1-A17, then this can be autofilled, but problem is the pivot table may not have same lines of data everytime. Is there a way I can fix this with VBA or another method?
RE: Pivot tables
Hi Claire
Thanks for getting in touch. This is a piece of PivotTable functionality by design. It's invoking a process called "GetPivotData" - if you look at the formula that's created you'll see that function.
You should try creating another formula but with GetPivotData turned off. To do this, select any cell in the PivotTable. On the ribbon, under the Options menu, click the drop-down arrow for Options, and click the Generate GetPivotData command to turn the feature off or on.
Try building the formula again and you should have a formula you can fill or drag.
Kind regards
