Answer : increment the counter for each category

Hi rwamuhire,

This is a common requirement.

In the footer of your report place an unbound text box for each summary count.

In the textbox (or in the ControlSource property) enter: =Count([Ordered]) , etc..
(Changing [Ordered] to the name of the field you want to summarize in each textbox i.e. [Backordered], [Out of Stock], etc...)
