Hi,

I'm trying to use the GETPIVOTDATA function with a date that changes. I have the dates in Row 13 spread across multiple columns.

The formula below works:

=GETPIVOTDATA("Qty",Summary!$B$10,"Transaction Type","RETURN","Invoice Date","2023-10-07")

but if I want to replace "2023-10-07" with the date in cell B13 like below, I get a #REF! error.

=GETPIVOTDATA("Qty",Summary!$B$10,"Transaction Type","RETURN","Invoice Date",B13)

Please can you tell me where I'm going wrong?
