Problem with total on a grouped list

I have a problem in my report with a count. It's not the first time I
have encountered the problem so I'm thinking maybe I'm doing something
wrong.

The data item I'm putting a count on is counted for each record of the
dataset and not only for the data item it is attached to (grouping).
I'm not quite sure how to explain the problem so I have enclosed a pdf
that explains it as well as the report specification.

If ClientA has a date for ""first contact"" it should count as 1 ""fist
contact"". But ClientA can have more that one ""project"". So If ClientA
has a date for ""first contact"" and 2 ""projects"" the count gives me 2
""first contacts"" even though there is only one displayed in the report.

Hope you can help me.
