We have a Query that calculates a Data Item Named 'IsClosed" as 1 or 0.

The Query result has six (6) rows where 'IsClosed' = 1

Trying another Data Item as ...
Total([IsClosed] for [Level 1 Name])
... and trying various Detail and Summary Aggregations of ...
Calculated
Calculated, etc (about every other combination) result in 1 or 18.

The Data Item needs a result of 6 which will be placed in a Singleton.

We have always been able to do calculations like the above until today.

Ideas please.  Thank you, Bob
