Default Pivot tables - counting unique numbers

The formula worked like a dream. Thank you for your quick response.

Hi

You will need to create another column in your source data to count the
uniques, then drag that column into your PT.
Supposing your items with duplicates is in column D, then in a new column
enter
=IF(COUNTIF($D$2:D2,D2)1,"",COUNTIF($D$2:D2,D2))
and copy down as required

I want to "count" unique numbers using a pivot table. I enter project
numbers
into a column in our job list spreadsheet. Some projects have multiple
components and each component has the same project number as the overall
project but is listed in its own row. So, within the project number
column,
one project number may be listed up to 30 times. I'd like to just count
the
total number of unique project numbers. I'm getting the total number of
line
items in my pivot.

If it helps, the other components in my pivot table are component category
and quarter (of the year).

Thanks for any advice / tips!
