Counting non-blank string variable information

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have six string variables (SCH1, SCH2, SCH3, SCH4, SCH5, SCH6). I would like to count the number of responses across all six variables, excluding instances where the response has been left blank. Even under Data->Count, I can only look for specific characters and combinations thereof, how can I count valid values only?
