How do I get a pivot table to sum instead of giving me a count?

In my newest version of Excel I can't use a pivot table to sum totals of a
group but, in the old version I can. Does anyone know of how to turn this
feature back on? My pivot tables give me a count total of the items in the
group I don't need this I need the sum of these items.

I am not sure which version you are on but 2002 defaults to count.

If you open the pivot table wizard and go to the layout box you should
see "count of ####" in the data field. Double click on this and you
will get the field dialog box which has the usual average, max min etc
