Excel VBA Introduction course
Getpivotdata from another closed workbook
I have set a master spreadsheet with numerous getpivot data values obtained from two closed workbooks.
The calculations work fine when all 3 workbooks are open but show as #ref when the two workbooks holding the pivot tables are closed.
Is there a way to set these to update when opening the master spreadsheet without opening the linked workbooks?
RE: getpivotdata from another closed workbook
Hi Jayne,
Thank you for the forum question.
No when the GetPivot function is used to link data the source workbooks must be open to update the links.
You can write a macro which will open the source workbooks, refresh the master and then close the source workbooks again.
Unfortunately when you are using the GetPivot function this is the only option.
Kind regards
