SQL count specific value over multiple columns and rows

Question

I feel as if this should be quite easy, but can\'t seem to find a solution. Suppose I have the following table:

|--------||---||---||---||---||---||---||---|         


        

Answer 1

Use conditional COUNT

SELECT COUNT(case when q1 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q2 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q3 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q4 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q5 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q6 = '1' then 1 end)  + 
       COUNT(case when q7 = '1' then 1 end) as ones_total
FROM table
WHERE Company = 'abc'
