    Best Formula to Use to Get Data from a Constantly Changing Pivot Table?

    I have a Pivot table that is always changing when I update it. I want to create a manual table that says (ex. go find Arizona's sales # for October and then add xxxxxxx)

    In the pivot table, Arizona would be on y-axis and the current month on x-axis. values are sales figure.
    The pivot table is constantly moving forward though. Like I can only see the current month's number for each state.

    I dont "GETPIVOTDATA" would work because it will always be locked to certain month. Should I use vLookup?

    I wouldn't reference a formula to a pivot table. I would reference the formula to the data table feeding the pivot table. If you reference a vlookup to the pivot table and for any case you filter the data excluding your lookup criteria, you'll get errors...

    If you need help on extracting data from the data table, give us more details as to what you want and we can give a few formulas to try,
