Not count suppressed employees, how?

[Snookless]

Hello all and thanks for the woderful responces on my other threads, I have a new one here I can not seem to figure out.

I created a group for {employee Name}, then created a formula feild called {@ded} to total up a duduction within a specific date range.
Put the employee name on Group Footer
Put {@ded} on detail line suppressed and created a summary , added the summary to the group footer as well.


Now I have a list of employees with this deduction code and an amount, (I still had to suppress all the other employees that did not have the deduction because the still showed on the report with zero amounts.)

Now the problem I am having is to count only the employees with the deduction that show on the report and enter that total on the report footer.

How can I do this accuratly?
Thanks in advance.

Use the same criteria you're using to suppress to generate the count.

e.g.
If <Your Criteria Here>
Then 0
Else 1

Then sum this field.
