Default Can you remove duplicates from Pivot Table?

Hi there - i have a database which looks something like this:
Name Number
Fred 1000
Fred 1000
Fred 1000
Tom 2000
Tom 2000
Tom 2000
Jane 3000
Jane 3000
Jane 3000

I want my pivot table to show:
Fred 1000
Tom 2000
Jane 3000

is there a way to remove duplicate data?

right now my pivot table shows:
Fred 3000
Tom 6000
Jane 9000

I don't want the numbers to be summed.

Alternative solutions i have already looked at:
I know I can also do this using Advanced Filtering - which I will do if need
be.
I have also added a new column to my database called "Unique entries" which
i can use for my pivot table - but that's another "manual" thing to do - i
would like to try to work with the existing database - without having to add
more columns and formulas.

appreciate your assistance!
