Pivot Table Repeating Values When i Want the Sum of Them

I have a spreadsheet which has some single columns of numbers which i want to pivot (rather than using COUNT) to show occurrences of entries.

But the pivot table is just repeating the values. I am dropping the column header into ROW and VALUE. The point is also that i know for example that there are two or three occurrences of the zero entry so my guess was that the right hand column would reflect that.

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I'd guess your value field is not set to Count.
