Trying to generate a distribution using a pivot table

Copper Contributor

I have a large dataset I am trying to analyse and I think I'm close but I can't quite figure out the last bit.

 

The big data set has three columns: location, type and value. I want to be able to analyse the distribution of values for a given location and type. I'm trying to do it using a pivot table.

 

I can build a pivot table that will filter for location and type. I can get it to give me each of the unique values in a column. But, all of the values that appear more than once disappear. Because what I am ultimately trying to do is to generate a distribution, that is no good to me - it matters how many entries there are for each unique value. 

 

Is a pivot tale even the tool I need?

 

Can anyone help?

If something like this

you may build PivotTable in tabular form and add value both as field and aggregate as count
