How do I form a new variable that denotes the total number of things that people have ever done online based on q2_1 to q2_7. run a frequency distribution of the new variable and interpret the results. Note that the missing values for q2_1 to q2_7 are coded as 0.

Please explain the steps involved so, I can understand the process and try it on my own.

Thank you
