Default whats the best way do a link to pivot table data.

if i do a direct reference to the pivot table, and then the pivot table
changes, especially when the size of the pivottable, (i.e number of
columns and rows)... then the reference to the pivot table stuffs up.

so wahts the best way to use the data from the pivot table?
