Logic or tagging to treat same answer on different question the same

I’m working on a typeform where users will be asked multiple choice questions about countries that they have different types of business activities in (example: “Are you registered as a business in “UK” “USA” CAN” or “Do you have buyers located in “CAN” or “AUS” or “Do you have seller in “USA” “UK” EU”). They can choose multiple answers on any given question. There are 7 questions and only 5 countries that are possible answers, some will have all 5, some will have 2. 

At the end, I want to be able to use the answers they selected to generate a report of where they may be in scope of some new tax regulations.

Essentially, I realize I could create hundreds of branches, but I’d like to simplify down that if they chose only USA and CAN on any of the questions, I could pump out a response that pertains to USA & Canada. Only Canada, they’d get only data about Canada. I guess the hardest part is some sort of logic that basically treats any choice of USA across the whole survey as a way to flag their response as related to USA…

Any thoughts on how to even start with this?

@john.desborough I’ve looked at your solutions/webinar on how to build a PDF report as a place to start.

I’d like to avoid as much manual work as possible.

So, I think I came up with a solution.

Basically, I’m thinking every time someone chooses a nation as they pass through the survey, I add +1 to a variable I create for that countr.

At the end I’ll have 5 variables which could have either a 0 or some version of a positive score. I think I can handle the “if” logic from there in google sheets.
