Solution: Master the GETPIVOTDATA function

(upbeat music) - [Narrator] How did you do? For this one, we can get a head start by hitting Equals and pointing to one of our cells, as such. As you can see, Excel has populated our formula dynamically. Now all we need to do is simply change the reference for product name to be this cell over here. I'll fix the column so that I could drag this to the right for future years. Then for years' order date, I'll point to our year cell and replace it with this value over here. This time, I'll lock the row. I'll hit Enter. Now if this is set up correctly, I should be able to just drag this down and to the right and look at that, the values update. Now I can change any product and the information dynamically updates. Nice work, you're now a GETPIVOTDATA Pro.
