RE: GetpivotData

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for a very interesting forum question and thank you for open my eyes for some very nice options with GetPivotData.

The answer is not straight forward.

I found this answer from the link below:

"So to answer the question. Lookups by getpivotdata are about 10 times as fast as regular index-match lookup, but best performance improvement is achieved by sorting your source data. Sorting your source data could make your Index-Match lookup 400 times as fast."

Excel tip:

Checking formulas with multiple operators

When dealing with formulas containing more than one operator (+, -, /, *), Excel follow standard BEDMAS order of operation rules. These rules specify the order that calculations will be performed in, regardless of how the formula reads left to right:

B = brackets
E = exponents
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtraction

It should be noted that multiplication and division are considered equal; as are addition and subtraction.

If you would like to check the order in which Excel is performing calculations in a formula, simply click on the cell containing the formula. Then go to Tools - Formula Auditing and select Evaluate Formula.

In the Evaluate Formula dialogue box that appears on your screen, click the Evaluate button to see how Excel calculates the formula result.
