Default Pivot table problem

Hi,

This might be a bit tricky to explain, but let me try...

I have some data whereby production is captured against operators...
different quantities for different operators. Now, when I pivot this
information, I would like to have a scenario where the pivot shows production
per no of operators. This should be the actual number of operators, and not
just sum of operators... hope this makes sense.

Is this possible?
