E.g., it could contain dates when some tax value had been changed, and so the values represent starting dates of a period when a specific tax value was effective. Thus, searching for a date that is absent in the first array column, but falls between some existing boundary dates, would give the lower of them, allowing to find out the data being effective to the searched date.

         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id909451" role="paragraph">Two different syntax definitions can be used:</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id1665089" role="code">GETPIVOTDATA(TargetField; pivot table[; Field 1; Item 1][; ... [Field 126; Item 126]])</paragraph>

         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id1672109" role="paragraph">The second syntax is assumed if exactly two parameters are given, of which the first parameter is a cell or cell range reference. The first syntax is assumed in all other cases. The Function Wizard shows the first syntax.</paragraph>
        <h3 id="hd_id431585688827982">First Syntax</h3>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id9302346" role="paragraph">
            <emph>TargetField</emph> is a string that selects one of the pivot table's data fields. The string can be the name of the source column, or the data field name as shown in the table (like "Sum - Sales").</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id8296151" role="paragraph">
            <emph>pivot table</emph> is a reference to a cell or cell range that is positioned within a pivot table or contains a pivot table. If the cell range contains several pivot tables, the table that was created last is used.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id4809411" role="paragraph">If no <emph>Field n / Item n</emph> pairs are given, the grand total is returned. Otherwise, each pair adds a constraint that the result must satisfy. <emph>Field n</emph> is the name of a field from the pivot table. <emph>Item n</emph> is the name of an item from that field.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id6454969" role="paragraph">If the pivot table contains only a single result value that fulfills all of the constraints, or a subtotal result that summarizes all matching values, that result is returned. If there is no matching result, or several ones without a subtotal for them, an error is returned. These conditions apply to results that are included in the pivot table.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id79042" role="paragraph">If the source data contains entries that are hidden by settings of the pivot table, they are ignored. The order of the Field/Item pairs is not significant. Field and item names are not case-sensitive.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id7928708" role="paragraph">If no constraint for a page field is given, the field's selected value is implicitly used. If a constraint for a page field is given, it must match the field's selected value, or an error is returned. Page fields are the fields at the top left of a pivot table, populated using the "Page Fields" area of the pivot table layout dialog. From each page field, an item (value) can be selected, which means only that item is included in the calculation.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3864253" role="paragraph">Subtotal values from the pivot table are only used if they use the function "auto" (except when specified in the constraint, see <item type="literal">Second Syntax</item> below).</paragraph>
         <h3 id="hd_id551585688835597">Second Syntax</h3>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id9937131" role="paragraph"><emph>pivot table</emph> has the same meaning as in the first syntax.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id5616626" role="paragraph"><emph>Constraints</emph> is a space-separated list. Entries can be quoted (single quotes). The whole string must be enclosed in quotes (double quotes), unless you reference the string from another cell.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id4076357" role="paragraph">One of the entries can be the data field name. The data field name can be left out if the pivot table contains only one data field, otherwise it must be present.</paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id8231757" role="paragraph">Each of the other entries specifies a constraint in the form <item type="literal">Field[Item]</item> (with literal characters [ and ]), or only <item type="literal">Item</item> if the item name is unique within all fields that are used in the pivot table.<comment>i82342</comment></paragraph>
         <paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3168736" role="paragraph">A function name can be added in the form <emph>Field[Item;Function]</emph>, which will cause the constraint to match only subtotal values which use that function. The possible function names are Sum, Count, Average, Max, Min, Product, Count (Numbers only), StDev (Sample), StDevP (Population), Var (Sample), and VarP (Population), case-insensitive.</paragraph><comment>UFI: Example from spec doc is quite difficult to localize.
