Hello, I'm having trouble changing the BOLD portion of the following GETPIVOTDATA formula, to be dynamic. I've edited the Date & the Year parts already, but I keep getting a syntax error when I attempt change on the "Org #" part. The "Org #" part shown here is still from the original static code.

=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Total Discount]",'LY Discounts Yearly'!$B$3,
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #].&[237]",
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date].&["&TEXT($G$3-366,"yyyy-mm-dd") & "T00:00:00]",
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date (Year)]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date (Year)].&"&"["&YEAR($G$3-366)&"]")

My attempt which gave the syntax error was:
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #].&[" &[@[Org '#]]& "]",

Thanks!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
That looks correct to me.

What's the whole formula as you are trying to enter it, and which part is highlighted after the error? I can enter it in a cell without issue.

Hi Rory! Thx.

=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Total Discount]",'LY Discounts Yearly'!$B$3,
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Org #].&[" &[@[Org '#]]& "]",
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date].&[2020-08-31T00:00:00]",
"[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date (Year)]","[LY Orders Data Tab - Discounts].[Date (Year)].&"&"["&YEAR($G$3-366)&"]"),
[@[Adj Total for 1st partial month LY]])

Is that formula in the table? If not, you need to include the table name.
