You have not mentioned Grouping or duplication of record numbers so I will assume neither exist.
You can use a Running Total
Name=NewApplication
Field to summarize=trackingnumber field
type of summary=distinctcount
evaluate=use a formula
table.appliactiontype in ['new',resubmission']
reset=never
place in detail to show incrimental changes and/or report footer for total
or create a formula field
if table.appliactiontype in ['new',resubmission'] then 1 else 0
and SUM it
oops, sorry Kevlray, was typing while you were posting
