I know that GETPIVOTDATA will give pivot data, but I have not been able to find a way to get the data as the report changes for various selections. What I am trying to do is compare actual monthly salary info by fund code and employee in a pivot table to budgeted data by employee, when I try to create a formula to reference the actual expense in the pivot table it is always an absolute reference. I need to find a way (either using the pivot table or extracint date from the table) to compare the actual salary information to budgeted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. mwburne
