    Pivot Table, average of sums in column

    I have a group of data that is listed as sums.

    Ex:

    Now at the bottom, I would like two things. First, a count of the rows.
    More important, I want the average of the totals (in this case, 31/3 = 10.33)

    When I tell it to average, it just gives me the average of each person (joe goes to 7.5, fred goes to 5.5)

    In regards to the count, I saw in another thread they said to just add a column that says "1" for each row, and sum that at the bottom. I would like to do this without an additional column, but if that's the only way then that is fine.

    Thanks

    I have added a count field in the raw data for counting the unique names, then I added this as a field in the pivot table (SUM). The Average is a calculated field under "Fields Items & Sets" under Options Menu.

    The count part I get, but still not understanding the average one. Can you walk me through step by step what you did?
