Quick question on Pivot Tables; how to produce a report of the number of times an item respectively appears in a sheet?

How does make a Pivot Table to show how many times a specific item respectively appears in a sheet? For example, if I had a sheet with a list of employees of a company who spoke more than one language, and I wanted to log which specific language a person spoke, and wanted to return, for example, a list of times that one encounters an employee who speaks Japanese, how could I produce a report which features the number of Japanese speakers? In this hypothetical sheet, I include the name of the person who speaks more than one language.

Thanks !!

Try this :

1. Drag Language to the Report filter and Names to the Row labels

2. Drag Language to the Value area section
