Default records total expressions not working

I have a report wherein I would like to total the number of meeting
registrants. I enter the following expressions in a text box in the report's
footer and neither of them work.

=sum([LastName])
=count(*)

Is there something I'm missing in the Properties box?

Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm about to be slammed with so many
registrations I won't see straight and having this automated total will help
me immensely.

In the page footer or the report footer?

They won't work in the page footer.

And Summing a Last Name makes no sense at all. What is the Sum of John,
Susan, and Ricky?

I hope that the OP has an answer that solves the problem
