Default Pivot Table Percentages

I am a pure novice at pivot tables.

I have data that is organized in the following fields
Region (1 through 5)
Agency
Level Of Care
Utilization Nov 07 (This is formatted as a percentage - Example 86%)
Utilization Dec 07 (Also a percentage - Example 120%)
Utilization Jan 08 (Also a percentage)

The problem I have is that when I bring the data into the pivot table it
shows up as a general number (Example - 1, 2 or 3).
When I change the format in the pivot table to percentage, I get 100% or 200%.

I get the same result if I format the original data to number (Example - .86
or 1.2) before I bring it to the pivot table and then try to reformat it
after it is in the table.

Thanks

You all are teaching me so much

Use Average instead of Sum.
If my layout isn't close to yours,
upload your spreadsheet.
