I want to tally up the results of a survey by putting a check mark or a "1" for
every yes response in a Cell. But how do I take the sum of the bits? (ie. as if the end result were a binary number, "1111111111111" ?)

I suppose I could use a push button!
 
If the tally cell was A1, I guess you could just check the length of the
data.

=LEN(A1)

If A1 contained 1111111111

LEN(A1) = 10

but I think you might be limited if you use 1s as it will be treated as a
number and 20 1s would show as 1.11111111111111E+24

Using "y"s might work better
