Hello Excel Gurus!<br />
I have an excel sheet with 17k rows. &nbsp;I am trying to understand excel pivot tables and want to know if I can use the pivot to display the count of distinct values for one of my columns. &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; <br />
So far, I did use the excel function (=SUMPRODUCT((D2:D17211&lt;&gt;&quot;<wbr />&quot;)/COUNTIF<wbr />(D2:D17211<wbr />,D2:D17211<wbr />&amp;&quot;&quot;))) to calculate the count and it worked. &nbsp;This unfortunately does not tell me how to arrive at the same answer in a pivot table.<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me how to calculate the count of distinct values and have it display it on my pivot? <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/08_w36/343291/ExcelFunction-Works.jpg" target="_blank" title="Excel Function Works (89 KB)"><img alt="Excel Function Works" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/08_w36/800_343291/ExcelFunction-Works.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/08_w36/343295/Excel-Pivot-Unique.jpg" target="_blank" title="Unique (231 KB)"><img alt="Unique" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2010/08_w36/800_343295/Excel-Pivot-Unique.jpg" /></a>

Hello Excel Gurus!
I have an excel sheet with 17k rows.  I am trying to understand excel pivot tables and want to know if I can use the pivot to display the count of distinct values for one of my columns.  
  
So far, I did use the excel function (=SUMPRODUCT((D2:D17211<>"")/COUNTIF(D2:D17211,D2:D17211&""))) to calculate the count and it worked.  This unfortunately does not tell me how to arrive at the same answer in a pivot table.

Can someone tell me how to calculate the count of distinct values and have it display it on my pivot?
