Question : Doing a VLOOKUP in a pivot table???

I am trying to get values from a pivot table by getting the value in a cell, going to a pivot table and finding the row that matches that value and getting specified column from the pivot table.

Example of what I have:

Current Year Summary - worksheet

GLCODE      DESC                                                      BEG BAL                       JUL      AUG      SEP
000      YEAR-TO-DATE                                NO BEG BAL      #N/A      #N/A      #N/A
000      YEAR-TO-DATE                                 NO BEG BAL      #N/A      #N/A      #N/A
100      TRANSFER BETWEEN BANK ACCOUNTS      NO BEG BAL      #N/A      #N/A      #N/A
101      CASH IN BANK-OPERATING ACCOUNT      136,262.51      #N/A      #N/A      #N/A
102      CASH IN BANK-PAYROLL ACCOUNT      118,938.55      #N/A      #N/A      #N/A

CY-TOTALS - worksheet with Pivot Table

Sum of AMOUNT            MONTH            
GLCODE      DESC                                                      JUL                AUG      SEP
100      TRANSFER BETWEEN ACCOUNTS       0.00                0.00      0.00
101      CASH IN BANK-OPERATING ACCOUNT      246,776.90          415,076.81      43,968.43
102      CASH IN BANK-PAYROLL ACCOUNT      18,762.00                20,480.08      18,470.72
103      PETTY CASH                                      275.00                275.00      0.00
104      DEPOSIT IN TRANSIT                                      18,787.05                30,002.37      85,909.99
105      ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE                      1,219,347.91        1,356,672.35      5,027.03
106      CASH IN BANK-CO MATCHING                      94,319.91                 99,979.16      3,940.31

What I want to do is use the value in column A on the Current Year Summary - worksheet - take that value and find the row in CY-TOTALS - worksheet with Pivot Table that matches column A value, and get the value in specified column.

For example - Current Year Summary - worksheet A5=100.  Go to CY-TOTALS - worksheet with Pivot Table and find the row that has 100 (which is A3) and get the value for the month of JUL.

Please ask questions...

Thanks for the assistance!

Answer : Doing a VLOOKUP in a pivot table???


In Current Year Summary - worksheet, on the column where you want to get the Jul value, put in the formula =VLOOKUP(A5,$A$3:$E$100,3,FALSE).
Copy the formula down to the rest.

Explanation :
A5 = value you are matching
$A$3:$E$100 = fix the area for teh lookup (basically the pivot which must be sorted on column A in ascending order)
3 = Jul column
FALSE = exact match

good luck
