Excel 2013 - Can no longer use a pivot table cell in formula to copy down?

I have created a pivot table using a set of data.  In a blank column next to the pivot table, I want to create a formula using a cell from the pivot table and 1 constant number and then copy that formula down to the rest of the rows (533 rows). 

In my old V2010, it worked just fine - click the cell where I want to type the formula, type =Cell/3 ENTER and then click the cell's lower right corner until the plus sign appears, double click and it would send the formula down to the remaining cells that had values.  It would change "Cell" to "cell1", "cell2", "cell3", etc as it went down to keep the formula correct.

On Excel 2013, again this is using pivot table data, it is not changing and the same output is created for each of the cells (so they all say 1 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). 

I have looked everywhere and asked the few here who are using V2013 with no luck.

Sample Pivot - my calculation is =GETPIVOTDATA("ACTIVE",$A$1,"Name","Joe")/3 (I physically clicked on cell A2 which is when all that other "junk" got in the formula) and when I drag down this formula to copy to the other cells, it continues to give me the same answer even though the # has changed

      1             2                3

    Name        #

A  Joe          1000       333.3333333

B  Jack          200

C  Jim           500

D  Bob          600

Thoughts on how I can do this in V2013?
