Hi,
Modify the code as below, 
shared dim Categories as new collection
shared Counter as integer=0
public function getGroupCounter(Item as String) as String
if Categories.contains(Item) then return "Group Footer " & Categories(Item).tostring()
Counter=Counter+1
Categories.add(Counter,Item)
return "Group Footer " & Counter.tostring()
end function
Then modify the expression that calls the code. You have to pass parameter that makes it unique througout your report. You may need to concatenate all the values of the group levels from 7 to 2 to achieve this like shown below.
=Code.getGroupCounter(Fields!Field1.Value & Fields!Field2.Value & Fields!Field3.Value)
Replace Field1, Field2 etc with the Field names you used in the group by while creating the groups.
Please feel free to discuss any further questions.
