Counting fields with value in them

in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

I'm trying to create a calculation field that would hold count of fields with value in them (out of a range of 6).
For example, I have fields: fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5, fld6. If fld1 has anything in it, my calculation field would display 1, if fld1 and fld2 had something in them, calculation would display 2, etc. Calculation field would be blank if none of the fields would have values in them.

What's the best way to approach this?

The Count() function does that.

There is probably a better way to do whatever it is that you're doing. You didn't tell us what it is, but having numbered fields is almost always a symptom of bad data structure.

thanks,

I suppose I should've used repetitions... it's ok for small application as it is

I suspect you should use records in a related table.
