get a row label from pivot table
In that case, I'd create a second pivot table with Werkzaam as filter field. See the new version.
So the question is how to get a row label from pivot table in a cel that is not a pivot table 😉

I am not a great Pivot Table user so I tend to duck out of the PT environment and resort to dynamic arrays.
= UNIQUE(Table1[Medewerker])If you also wish to filter the headings to omit the rows without content the formula starts to get somewhat overcomplicated.
= LET( distinct, UNIQUE(Table1[Medewerker]), totaal, GETPIVOTDATA( "Aantal dagen",PivotTable, "Medewerker", distinct, "Werkzaam",Werzaam), FILTER( distinct, ISNUMBER(totaal) ) )In either case, the table content is of the form
= IFERROR( GETPIVOTDATA( "Aantal dagen", PivotTable, "Week", Week#, "Medewerker", Medewerker#, "Werkzaam", Werzaam), "-" )A combination of INDEX/SMALL/MATCH can be used in place of FILTER.

GETPIVOTDATA() doesn't work in such case, it provides data if only it is visible in PivotTable. Alternatively you may work with cube assuming you are at least on Excel 2010, as I remember it's the first which supports data model.
Creating PivotTable add data to data model by checking
Create PivotTable and after that convert it to cube formulas. Now you may take these formulas and convert it to form you need, for example
in H3 it could be
=CUBEVALUE( "ThisWorkbookDataModel", CUBEMEMBER("ThisWorkbookDataModel", "[Measures].[Sum of Aantal dagen]" ), CUBEMEMBER("ThisWorkbookDataModel", ($G$2,$G3) ), CUBEMEMBER("ThisWorkbookDataModel", "[Range].[Week]." &"[" & TEXT(H$1,"General") & "]" ) )and drag it to the right and down.
Remove generated cube formulas you don't need.
If in parallel you need PivotTable as well, better to create it using data model
Filtering of this PivotTable won't affect cube formulas, they use only connection to data model but not another PivotTables created based on it.

I don't think it's possible to do what you want, but hopefully someone else will prove me wrong.
