This may seem a bit weird but it works
First add a header to the Company Column
1) Start the wizard -- Data/PivotTable & PivotChart Report...
2) Step 1 of 3 - Select Option Button: Multiple Consolidation Ranges -- [Next]
3) Step 2a of 3 - Select Option Button: I will create the page fields -- [Next]
4) Step 2b of 3 - With your cursor in the Range Textbox, select the data range on your sheet that you want to normalize -- [Add] -- [Next]
5) Step 3 of 3 - [Layout...]
6) Drag the Row and Column buttons OFF the Layout -- [OK] -- [Finish]
7) Mysteriously, you are on another sheet that has a 4-cell pivot table. Double click the BOTTOM RIGHT CELL
8) Again, on another sheet -- This is you data normalized, or at least closer to it. You'll need to change headings at least.
Just delete the column containing company names and you're ok
