Unable to Reference Pivot Table Sufficiently in Excel

$

I have a Pivot Table with Participant names and 3 columns that associate with it. Of the 3 columns many are blank depending on the data presented.

I am referencing the pivot table in 2 ways and neither are using the getpivottable formula (doing this because I can not fill down the formula). The first is referencing a cell within the pivot table, adding the 3 columns that associate with the participant name (B5+C5+D5) and the other is using vlookup such as =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B9,Data!$A$3:$C$370,2,0),0).(I have iferror because when I filter the pivot table to one participant all the others vlookup formulas will show NA)

The issues I am trying to solve are

  1. If I filter the Pivot table and one or two of the 3 columns that associate with the participant name are blank the pivot table will not display the blank columns and my (B5+C5+D5) formula with show incorrect results. This is fixed if I use the getpivottable function but I would like to be able to fill down or be able to do a bulk change since there are a lot of formulas so right now that does not seem plausible.

  2. If I filter the Pivot table to one participant name the vlookup formulas referencing all the other particpant names will show 0 or NA if I remove Iferror. Am I able to filter the pivot table while having the vlookup formula see everything outside of the filter as well?

Many Thanks,
