I have a pivot table and need to summarize the findings using formulas without cell references but have been unsuccessful finding information on how to reference a column in a pivot table. The formulas will go into a summary table. Each year, the previous year's data will be added. The pivot table has one row for each video (294 videos) and the source data has an entry for each time someone watched the video (9344 rows).

For the Total % Watched Avg columns, I'm trying to count the number of times the value is equal to or greater than 90% for that specific year. I started with this
Excel Formula:
=COUNTIF(GETPIVOTDATA("Total % Watched Avg",PivotTable!$A$2,"Case Title","1 - Introduction to POCUS and DVT Ultrasound Video Recording","Years",2020),">=90%")

But when I try to select the column, it changes to this
Excel Formula:
=COUNTIFS(PivotTable!B5:B298,">=90%")

For the Total Views columns, I'm trying to count the number of times the value is less than 10. I started with this
Excel Formula:
=countif(GETPIVOTDATA("Total Views",PivotTable!$A$2,"Case Title","1 - Introduction to POCUS and DVT Ultrasound Video Recording","Years",2021),"<10")

But when I try to select the column, it changes to this
Excel Formula:
=COUNTIF(PivotTable!F5:F298,"<10")

Pivot tables are not my forte and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Note: I tried using the XL2BB add-on but it keeps freezing Excel so I was unable to use it to paste the data above.) Thanks!!
