How do I Count the Number of Selections in a Multi Select List?
I'm trying to use a combination of rules, default values, and the count() function to count how many selections a user makes from a multi select list populated from a SharePoint Data Connection. I've tried to follow this thread:

It's not working for me. I can only get the behavior to correctly count how many have been selected after one that was selected is DE-selected.
How do I accomplish this?

My solution is identified as the best solution as it should should help other novice users better understand and provides a walkthrough; but, I wouldn't have gotten there without clayfox's recommendations.

So now that I have a repeating table (with 3 columns) how do I count how many selections a user makes? I realize that I can count the repeating group and only place 1 field in each group; however, with up to 25 selections being made that will make my form unnecessarily long....
I've tried (in the default value of my count field):
Count(/my:myFields/my:Capa
But this only counts if the user selects XYZ in the first column/field.... what I really need is an expression that allows me to say count testing1 <> "..." + testing2 <> "..." + testing3 <>"..."
("..." being the hypothetical default value in each of the repeating fields).
However, it appears that "<>" isn't the right expression for "does not equal".
Also/Separately, kindly see my question on promoting data from repeating groups to SharePoint... basically I'm asking if there's anyway to create unique fields on SharePoint from a repeating group or if its best to just use a delimiter and handle separating the data on the analysis side....
