Hi all,

I have a report that works perfert for me needs except.. I have a group
colum that is named: TestMode with a control of the same name. There are
only two posbibilites for this field, TEST or PRIMER. I wish to use a group
total that will detail how many 'TEST' or 'PRIMER' there are. I have tried
the following below but it either returns a 0 or 1. The report iteselfs
shows all the correct details. Any help appreciated and many thanks to all.

=Count(IIf([TestMode]="TEST",1,0))

Use control sources like the following in a report or group header or
footer.

=Sum(IIf([TestMode]="TEST",1,0))
or
=Sum(Abs([TestMode]="TEST"))
