Default count pivot tables

My raw table has a bunch of text in it. When I go to pivot, it shows the
field to drag and drop, but when I drop it, it shows as "Count". If I try to
change the field settings, it only allows me to change to another calc (SUM,
etc) and none of the options leave it as the raw text. HELP!

Default count pivot tables

A pivot table will show the text from text fields in the row, column or
page areas, but not in the data area. In the data area, it's summarized
by count.

Pivot Table doesn't like text wrote:
