I haven't worked with pivot tables since Excel97 (?) so aside from losing my feel for how to solve this issue, I'm also not sure if I had ever done anything like this before.
Here's the issue...
This is an abbreviated mockup of the data:

The result that I am seeking is to determine the number of instances for each of the numbers in the columns.
For instance, Group C has:
1 instance of 0's
1 instance of 1's
2 instances of 4's
Visually it should look like this...

I am able to accomplish this using COUNTIF, however the dataset is actually very large and I was hoping that it could be done using a pivot table instead. I played around with many different ways of positioning the headings, but I can't seem to get the result that I am looking for - or determine if it is even possible (although I assume that it is - which is why I am here asking for guidance).
Could I ask for someone to steer me towards the needed solution?
