Distinct Count on a combined text field

Thanks to @Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach) for this bit of code to count combine text fields:

var text value = ToText([Combined Text Field]);

Count(

Trim(Part($value,1,";")),
Trim(Part($value,2,";")),
Trim(Part($value,3,";")),
Trim(Part($value,4,";")),
Trim(Part($value,5,";")),
Trim(Part($value,6,";")),
Trim(Part($value,7,";")),
Trim(Part($value,8,";")),
Trim(Part($value,9,";")),
Trim(Part($value,10,";")),
Trim(Part($value,11,";")),
Trim(Part($value,12,";")),
Trim(Part($value,13,";")),
Trim(Part($value,14,";")),
Trim(Part($value,15,";")),
Trim(Part($value,16,";")),
Trim(Part($value,17,";")),
Trim(Part($value,18,";")),
Trim(Part($value,19,";")),
Trim(Part($value,20,";"))
)
