=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Net amount]",'Sheet1'!$A$3,"[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)].&[2023]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Account Reference]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Account Reference].&[ACCREF1]")

So this is my Generated formula. I need to change ACCREF1 to be a relative reference to the list of accounts in column A, but

=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Net amount]",'Sheet1'!$A$3,"[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)].&[2023]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Account Reference]",A2) returns #REF!

Surely I am missing something simple but what is it?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
This formula works fine =IFERROR(GETPIVOTDATA("Value",Pivot!$A$3,"Account",$C37, "Month",TEXT(T$6,"mmm")),0), but this pivot table does not use a table in the data model. So the question is how to alter the formula.
I tried using this format with Generate GETPIVOTDATA turned off on the pivot table linked to the data model but all I get is the dreaded #REF!

Assuming A2 contains the text ACCREF1, then you want this:

Excel Formula:
=GETPIVOTDATA("[Measures].[Sum of Net amount]",'Sheet1'!$A$3,"[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Date (Year)].&[2023]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Account Reference]","[SAGE_Sales detail_0].[Account Reference].&["&A2&"]")
