Set up 3 calc fields in your Events table:

Field One= If(textField = "telephone calls", 1,0)

Field Two= If(textField = "call-outs", 1,0)

Field Three= If(textField = "emails", 1,0)

(This can be shorted to: textField = "telephone calls" instead of the full IF clause, but it makes for easier understanding later if you use the full clause.)

Be sure to set the result type to "Number".

Then add calc fields in your main table:

CalcOne= Sum(relationship::Field One), etc.

Oops, forgot this part:

Note that "GetRepetition( containerfield, 1 )" is redundant for "containerfield" in a single repetition calculation result.
