Sum of Distinct ID's not calculating as needed

I have run across an issue that seems so simple but I cannot figure it out.  I have multiple rows from a detail table that consist of a number that I need to summarize. I only want to calculate one of the numbers from each ID but everything that I have tried either will not summarize the formula or it totals all rows.

RefID      Number
1731720      586
1731720      586
1731720      586
1731720      586
      
1731411      586
1731411      586
1731411      586
      
1732298      600
1732298      600
1732298      600

Total      5,902

The total that I am trying to get is 1,772 from the above example which consist of each ID and the number that goes with it.  I cannot do a distinct row because there are other columns within the  rows that do not have distinct values (TimeDate, Actions, etc)

The I cannot use distinct row counts because not all columns within the report are the same. How can I calculate this correctly?
