    Calculating number of times individual number appears in a pivot table

    I have a excel document with several different numbers in column A, when i pivot the data and 'Count' this value it totals these values. I want it to only show this figure once

    e.g
    Number Name
    123 Joe
    123 Joe
    234 Mark
    234 Mark
    234 Mark
    999 Jackie
    567 Anne

    So i want to pivot table to show

    Joe - 1
    Mark - 1
    Jackie - 1
    Anne - 1

    At the moment its showing

    Joe - 2
    Mark - 3
    Jackie - 1
    Anne - 1

    Can any body help me???

    Re: Calculating

    Put the name into the data section,

    then double click

    now change to choose Count

    that will count as you have it now - so 2 etc for each name
    to get to a unique value

    then use the TAB
    show values as
    and select the last one
    index

    Re: Calculating number of times individual number appears in a pivot table

    Sorry for the short title, i forgot to go back and amend it before clicking submit

    Although they have been helpful, still not quite what i'm after, ive thought about it and is there a formula that can work out work out how many times the number appears and divide it by one. so you will get a table like

    Number Decimal Name
    123 0.5 Joe
    123 0.5 Joe
    234 0.33 Mark
    234 0.33 Mark
    234 0.33 Mark
    999 1 Jackie
    567 1 Anne

    So when the pivot it done it will total 1?
