Sum Formula when a Formula is used to Generate a number

I am trying to sum Cells that contain a number that is generated from another formula. However, the sum is not generating. These are the steps I have followed. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

1. I have a series of cells that are populated through a form as Yes or No questions.
2. If a question is answered yes it is assigned a number 1-12. Each question is weighted differently. So if the question is not that important it may get a rating of 3 and if it is very important it would get a 12.
3. I created a cell that has this formula to make the Yes equal to a numeric value. =IF([Item 7: Will this Project require AV?]@row = "Yes", "11", "0")
4. Then the last column I want to sum all of the weighted questions. This is the formula used: =SUM([Item 1 Score]@row + [Item 2 Score]@row + [Item 3 Score]@row + [Item 4 Score]@row + [Item 5 Score]@row + [Item 6 Score]@row + [Item 7 Score]@row + [Item 8 Score]@row + [Item 10 Score]@row + [Item 11 Score]@row + [Item 12 Score]@row + [Item 13 Score]@row)

However the sum comes up as 0.

Any help to fix this is appreciated.

Within your first formula, remove the quotes from around the eleven and the zero. Placing quotes around a number can make the number behave as text rather than a value.
