I assume you've tried building this out one field at a time rather than all 7 at once, right? Do one, make sure that works. Add another. Make sure that works, etc.

Also, note that in SharePoint, while the Yes/No column reads text, the values stored are actually numbers. So when you do the calc, make sure you use numbers. I think Yes =1 and No = 0.
