Default Count Function

I am creating a report for the number of pupils being collected at a certain
collection time e.g. 14:00hr and 15:00hrs

using the formula =Count([Child Last Name]) in the collection time footer

However when i try to count the overall number of pupils in the footer using
the same formula, 'Error' appears on screen?

Thanks

There are potentially a dozen footer sections in a report. Which one is
giving you a problem? What is the name of the control? What is the exact
formula?
