[MS_AccessPros] Grouping and Sum on a report

 

I am working on a report which contains company name, department name and employees... The report has the format as shown below. My current task is to add a total that counts the number of Departments.

I placed a text box in the Department Footer and have the control source as =count([Department]). However, it looks like it's totaling the number of employees not the department. What is the correct way to handle this?

Phucon.

 

Company 1

 Department 1

  Employee Name    First          Mi          Last
    xxxxxxxxxx x    xxxxxxxxxx   x          xxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxx x    xxxxxxxxxx   x          xxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxx x    xxxxxxxxxx   x          xxxxxxxxxx
 
 Total Department: 1
