[AccessD] Counting Fields

Add a column to the select query that contains the following...

IIF(Field1 = "X", 1, 0) + IIF(Field2 = "X", 1, 0)...+ IIF(Field7 = "X", 1,0)

This will sum all 7 fields giving you the total X count.

Subject: [AccessD] Counting Fields

I have a table that contains a value of "X" in any or all of 7 fields.
For example, Record 1 has an "X" in fields [Field1], [Field2], and
[Field7].

Is there an easy way within a select query to get a total count of "X"'s
in the record?

Thanks,
