I have the following GETPIVOT call:
GETPIVOTDATA("Status",$O$29,"Status","Analysis","Today",DATE(2021,6,7),"Sprint",1)
I want the underlaying pivot table to update automatically when a new raw data table entry is made. This works, however, one column in the table is based on the TODAY() function. This is to gather stats on what has changed since the last file run. This date is in the pivot table, and it changes as expected with the base table containing the new data changes.
The issue:
It appears that the date in the GETPIVOT call is not changing even though the date in the pivot table updates: Example:
Today: GETPIVOTDATA("Status",$O$29,"Status","Analysis","Today",DATE(2021,6,7),"Sprint",1)
Updated base table to 6/8/2021:
GETPIVOTDATA("Status",$O$29,"Status","Analysis","Today",DATE(2021,6,7),"Sprint",1), as you can see no change. I need the date to change so the target of the GETPIVOT call will have data populated under the new date.
Suggestions?
Hi William,
Change the DATE formula to something dynamic like this:
=GETPIVOTDATA("Status",$O$29,"Status","Analysis","Today",DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())),"Sprint",1)

Wouldn't you just use TODAY() rather than DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))?
🙂 of course. I was thinking at the time that the value in that argument is text, as most of them are in GETPIVOTDATA and that it had to be in a specific format...not that my formula returned that anyway...all I can say is it was early in the morning and I shouldn't answer questions before having eaten breakfast! At least we have sensible people like you correcting silly errors. Thanks, Velouria!
🙂 No worries - just wanted to check I wasn't missing something!
