A custom report will not count customers, but only list ledger postings. But the counter window for the Customers tab shows active customers. This example is from a test company with two active customers, but additional inactive customers:

Just to clarify…

The number that @Tut mentioned assumes you are using the `Inactive` checkbox on Customer edit screen.

If you are defining “inactive” as something else (e.g. hasn’t placed an order in the past 6 months), the solution would be different.
