Default Calculating the average of a sum in Pivot Table

Hi all, hope someone can help me. I have data from a survey where we asked a
bunch of people to look at a list of tasks and tell us whether or not they
performed each task on the list. The dataset looks like this:

ID JT TN PF
1 1 1 0
1 1 2 1
1 1 3 1
1 1 4 0
2 1 1 0
2 1 2 1
2 1 3 1
2 1 4 0

Whe
ID = The person's ID number
JT = The person's job title
TN = The number of the task in question
PF = Whether the person performs the task (0=no, 1=yes)

What I want to know is on the average how many tasks were endorsed by people
of each job title. I created a Pivot table, which gives me the count of
tasks performed by each person, organized by job title (since they are 0-1,
all I have to do is look at the number of 1's to know how many tasks each
person performed). However, the total line for each job title value gives me
the Sum of that count, rather than the average. How can I change that
summary line for job title to Average from Sum?

Thanks in advance,

Sylvia

PS, for those of you who are more visual, this is what I mean.

My pivot table currently looks like this:
JT ID Count of Perform
1 1 165
1 2 130
1 3 100
Total 395
2 1 165
2 2 130
3 3 100
Total 395

I want:
JT ID Count of Perform
1 1 165
1 2 130
1 3 100
Average 131.66
2 1 165
2 2 130
2 3 100
Total 131.66
