Default Counting Unique Values

When you show a column in a pivot table under value, it gives you several
options as far as showing the data. For example you could sum or count. I
am trying to get a count from a text column which works but what I would like
to do it only count unique values. Example:

The count for each item would be 1, not 2 for Cindy; 1 for Jordan and 1 for
Tom.

Cindy
Cindy
Jordan
Tom

I appreciate your help.
