>>Hi,

>>I need to create a variable in a report that will count the number of distinct values. For example, if the report has a column EMPLOYEE_ID the variable should count how many employees are in the report. How? I tried to enter in the value to store "DISTINCT( EMPLOYEE_ID )" but it gives me error. TIA for any help.

You mean to calculate the value before calling REPORT FORM? This is what I thought too. Thank you.
