Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You are missing pivot table range reference as the third argument

You are trying to retrieve "AMOUNT" field from PIVOTTABLEDATA in the Data sheet!A3, but I think there is a problem like there is no table named Data, Make sure pivottabledata should be in the same sheet or workbook.
