oups : missed the excel part ;) sorry
if you need a formula for a specific product, something like this should do : count(if(A1:A100 = "myproduct",B1:B100))

Thank-you for your replies.

The attached workbook. I would like to know how many times the customers in Colum B orders column A. Thank-you for your time and assistance.
you'd need to replace the "sum" by a "count" in the calculated data ( or add an extra column ).
click on the pivot and find where you can add a new "value" or "set of values" which will actually ask for the type of value ( sum, count, count unique ... ) and add the corresponding extra column.
