If statement with Pivot Table

I am trying to derive a formula which uses IF statements on pivot tables.

The goal is to perform IF functions on values when they do not EXIST. So far I have the following:

=IF(GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0)=0,GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due"),IF(GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due")=0,GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0),(GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0)+GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due"))/1000))

The purpose of the formula is to see IF "this pivot data" DOES NOT exist, then "Insert true value", then IF "this DIFFERENT pivot data" DOES NOT EXIST, then "Insert true value", and the last false statement would be if both pivot data DO exist.

Basically, how do I make a formula which indicates whether a pivot table value exists or not?

The function you are looking for to find items that don't exist is ISBLANK

This would make your example function look like this:

=IF(ISBLANK(GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0)),
    GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due"),
    IF(ISBLANK(GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due")),
        GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0),
        (GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon",0)+GETPIVOTDATA("PO Outstanding Units",$A$2,"PO Horizon","Past Due"))/1000
    )
)

If you need to check if a column exists, then MATCH will check that, and give an error if it doesn't exist, so, to test if Past Due is a column name, then

ISERROR(MATCH("Past Due",$A$2:$F$2,0))

will return TRUE if the column is not found (Adjust the $A$2:$F$2 to your pivot column name range)
