Scoring a short series of questions as one

Hi all, Qualtrics novice here. I am trying to score a series of questions (ie 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d) so that if the user answers yes to any number of those questions, it adds a total of only 1 point to their score (rather than 1 point for each "yes"). If they say no to all of those questions, I want it to add 0 to their score. What is the easiest way to do this?
Thank you!!

We can use branch logic, and set an embedded data (eg: score) to 1 if any of those questions is answered yes else 0

Thanks! That makes sense. I can see how to create a branch that is triggered if the user answers yes to any of the parts. And I can see how to set a variable equal to the score.
But, I can't figure out how to increase the score variable by 1 or how to then make sure the score variable is somehow connected with total score, including answers to other questions. Could you walk me through these basics?

Could you walk me through these basics? => Create an embedded data (eg: TotalScore) and use math operation to add scoring option score and this new score(which is based on 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13d) and store it in TotalScore.
