Help removing duplicate data/combining like data in report

Guest

I have a very simple data base (no relationships) and data is only entered
once. In my report, I placed the data in the group footer because the detail
section shows duplicate data. I have gone through all of the properties and
made sure the hide duplicates is marked yes. However, I am still getting
duplicate label boxes and the data seems to be be split. For instance -
there are currently eight records in the main table. For a single field
[qol1] each record selects 1 - 5 from a combo box. When I designed the
report, I separate these out using the formula

=Sum(IIf([qol1]="1",1,0))
=Sum(IIf([qol1]="2",1,0))

etc. to tally the responses. The report then displays the question labels
twice and does not combine the data. The report comes out looking like the
example below.

Ex:
1
2 3 4 5

1. On a scale of 1 to 5 how happy are you? 0 0 0 0
2
2. On a scale of 1 to 5 rate your self esteem 0 1 4 0
0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1
2 3 4 5

1. On a scale of 1 to 5 how happy are you? 0 1 4 0
0
2. On a scale of 1 to 5 rate your self esteem 0 0 0 0
0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1
2 3 4 5

1. On a scale of 1 to 5 how happy are you? 0 0 0 0
0
2. On a scale of 1 to 5 rate your self esteem 0 0 0 0
2

1 - 5 the degree of the respondents answer and the numbers in each column
are the number of responses for that degree. I am trying to figure out how
to combine the data and eliminate the duplicate labels. I have copied this
report and the formula from an existing database that works just fine
(changing the necessary information of course).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
