I am currently using a pivot table which shows information regarding how much time an employee has worked, which is separated by week number. I would ideally like a GETPIVOTDATA formula to take this information and place it onto a dashboard screen, however only show the data from the past 5 weeks.

To get a week number, I am using a cell which has =TODAY() and then another one which uses =WEEKNUM() to provide a week number for that day. However in the GETPIVOTDATA formula, I can only get it to get data for a certain week (e.g. 21, rather than 21, 20, 19, 18 and 17). By using this method, I hope that the pivot data which is being extracted will automatically update based on today's date.

Does anyone know how to do this? The current formula which I am using is as below

Code:
=(GETPIVOTDATA("Hrs+Travel",Pivots!$AA$2,"Week",21,"Name","Bill"))
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Do you want 5 separate results, or one total for the last 5 weeks?

I would like a result for each week, so the table would look like the following:

NameWeek 17Week 18Week 19Week 20Week 21
Bill
Phil

<tbody>
</tbody>

So then when the next week comes, the values at the top of the table shall automatically update to show this week as the value on the far right.

Then I'd suggest that you just enter numbers into those header cells and give them a custom number format of "Week "0 so that they display as shown above. You can then just refer to them in the GETPIVOTDATA formula - for example:

=GETPIVOTDATA("Hrs+Travel",Pivots!$AA$2,"Week",B$1,"Name",$A2))

where B1 has the week number and A2 has the name.
