When you say that some premium fields are "suppressed" on the report ... how are you suppressing them? Have you used Print When logic to conditionally print them or are they separate records in the table that you are skipping with a filter or something?

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are doing ... but I'm guessing you are using PrintWhen logic to suppress the field and using a report variable to count that field. However, Print When only controls whether an item prints ... it doesn't control whether it participates in calculations. To do that, create another report variable with the following expression:

IIF(< printwhencondition >, 1, 0)

Now you can SUM this variable which will give you the count on just those that were printed.
