Default Pivot Table Question

Pivot table Count just counts the records. Not just the unique values. There
are 2 records that have BOX1 in column B. Both of them have values ABC in
column A. No matter what the column A values were, however, the pivot table
would still count 2 BOX1's.

I have data like this:

ABC BOX1
ABC BOX1
EFG BOX2
HIJ BOX3
KLM BOX4

And would like to use the Pivot Table to count the unique values in ColA:

BOX1 1
BOX2 1
BOX3 1
BOX4 1


For some reason, I am getting the following:

BOX1 2
BOX2 1
BOX3 1
BOX4 1

Thank you in advance.
