In my report what i would like to do is sum up a list of methods that i have. There are 4 possible methods that appear on my list. Instead of having them all list out one at a time. i was wondering if there was a way to add up the different constituents (methods) from the list so that i have total of how many times each method appears on the list. I'm also confused because im not sure if this is possible with it being words instead of numeric.
Thanks
 
Do a running total for each method. Right-click on a field and choose Insert to get a choice of Running Total or Summary. Or else use the Field Explorer, the icon that is a grid-like box, to add running totals.

Within the running total, evaluation can be based on a formula. Each running total should have a formula for just that method.

This can be done by group or for the whole report, whatever you want.
