Default Count unique numbers

Doing a pivot table with a large amount of data. We have trip numbers
throughout the year that do unfortunately get repeated so in order to make
them unique, I concatenated the trip number with the delivery date/100000 so
that all my trips look similar to this: 5243.954.

For one trip there can be mulitple drops and the report I have to work off
(one line per drop) I have this repeat for as many drops as there are. Now I
would like to count the number of trips but no matter what I do, it counts
the lot (total drops and not total trips)

As an example, given the following trip numbers
1.278
1.254
1.254
1.847

This should give total trips = 3 and total drops = 4. That's the intended

ie my spreadsheet has over 300,000 lines (drops) but only about 60,000 of
those are trips but it still tells me 300,000.

Can anyone help me? I am using Excel 2007
