I am trying to create a "ITEM" formula for my pivot table. Does anyone know if it is possible to reference a cell that is not included within the pivot table?

Here is my formula that I am trying to create but I am having problems. Excel won't let me use this equation. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My formula that I am trying to incorporate:

IF(C21=1, 'Project Type' [Contracted] - ( 'Project Type' [Standard Activities] + 'Project Type'[Projects]),'Project Type'[Contracted] / ('Project Type'[Standard Activities] + 'Project Type'[Projects]))
