Retrieving the number of checkboxes

Question

There is a question on my form that involves a multiple check boxes that a user can check.

For that question, I need to retrieve a value for the amount of check boxes the user selects (if a user checks 3 boxes, I would need to have a value of 3 outputted to a variable). Since I would need this value for formulas, I would need to set this value into as an embedded data.

How should I retrieve that value?
