I have the following in a workbook…

I want to copy that and place it in ANOTHER workbook but I keep ending up with my path in my formula...

What am I doing wrong please?

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
I think the references are always like that - it has to be so you can link workbooks to data. In fact I think that the whole path is really there - excel just displays what you need to see.

How I have got around this is to simply do a global search and replace in the new workbook swapping the old workbook name - not forgetting the [] - with nothing (in teh dialog box for the new text dont put anything at all). This makes all the references point to the current workbook.
