Pivot Table Slicer -how to use in formulas!?!!

Hello everyone... I dabble in P.Tables on a daily basis and have stumbled upon the slicer tool (new to 2010) on my own and have grown to like it more and more.


playing around today, i noticed that under the properties of a slicer, it says 'Name to use in formula' the typically says something (by default) like, "slicer_[field name]". and if you start to write a formula in a cell and start typing slicer, you'll see it show up in the quick pick menu.... but i have not be able to find information on how it can be used in formulas!?!


my original idea was to create a cell that simply displayed what the Slicer was displaying... "all" if not filtered and the particular criteria that it is filtering by...


thanks for all your help everyone!!
