Pivot Table Sum is Showing Zeros

I created a pivot table and it is counting my items so I change the value to sum of count. Whenever I do this, it changes all my numbers to zero instead of inserting the value of those fields.

    The dates and times in columns A and B of the Time Activities sheet are left-aligned, indicating that they are seen as text values by Excel.

    Do the following:

    • Select B6:B15 on the Time Activities sheet.
    • On the Data tab of the ribbon, click Text to Columns, then click Finish.
    • The times should now be right-aligned.
    • Switch to Sheet5.
    • Click in the pivot table.
    • On the PivotTable Analyze tab of the ribbon, click Refresh.
    • Specify [h]:mm as the number format of the value field.

    See the attached version.
