I have a report setup to pull in all people based of an age range. Then a custom formula to show if the patient had a colonscopy. I am trying to calculate how many people had a colonscopy. I have created a custom field to return 1 if they had a colonscopy. I then have tried to calculate this return using 3 formula fields. The problem is my patient tally is not totaling.

Placed in the Group Header 1

WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CCount := 0;

Placed in the Group header 2

WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CCount := 0;

If {@colonnum1} = '1' then 
    CCount := CCount + 1;

Placed in the group Footer

WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CCount;

You're resetting your counter in the Group Header 2 formula. First two lines before count logic should just be:

WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CCount;

?
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CCount;

You are also missing the else condition in group header 2. Should be:

If {@colonnum1} = '1' then CCount := CCount + 1 else CCount := CCount;

Also, make sure the data type of @colonnum1 is actually a string and not a number.  If a number value you won't need quotes on the "1".
