Hi everyone:

Here is the data example->

Transactions Table
Gender PatientID TxID
M 1 655
M 2 159
M 11 712
F 14 888
F 22 098
M 34 112

I have a distinct count of PatientID in the transactions table. Now I want to be able to display the number of females and males from the Gender column of the patient distinct count.

So in this case I would have a total of 6 distinct patient with 4 males and 2 females.

I tried using summaries of formulas (if gender="M" then 1 else0) and record counts but havent been able to get accurate values.
 
I think you could use two running totals.
Males - field to summarize, PatientID
Type of summary, Distinct Count
Use a formula, {Gender} = "M"

Females - field to summarize, PatientID
Type of summary, Distinct Count
Use a formula, {Gender} = "F"

I hope this helps.
