Default Counting strings in excel with Pivot

Hi,

i have this sheet which contains user information. User name in the
sheets are repeated. I have used pivot tables to display this data.
However, I also want a column which shows the total number of users.
Currently, when I select "Count of user name" in the pivot, it counts
all the existing user names but i want it to display only distinct user

name (i.e), it should not count the repeated the username.

For Example:

Row: A
Mike
Mike
Mike
Mike
Mike
Mike
navin
navin
navin
navin
navin

For the above row i want Pivot to calculate and show total# of mike and
total# of navin

Please help.


Regards,
Navin
