I'm wondering how it is possible to create three options for multiple
choice questions with the values of 1 for yes, 0 for no, and 0 for
non-applicable.
However, when I try to add 0 as the "choice label" and 'N/A" for the label,
I receive an error saying that this choice value has already been used.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around? The value of n/a doesn't
have to be zero, but I when I tally up the scores, I don't want the 'n/a'
selected to be included in the tally.

Update for those who may have this issue as well. We found a workaround!
Again it may not be the most elegant.
We ended up making the n/a value equal to 1000.
From there we used div and mod to be able to tally up all the "yes" (value
as well as all the "n/a"

In the example you are describing you can actually just ignore the message
if you want to. The warning is meant to highlight that you have duplicate
choice values since there could be a couple of issues:
when analyzing the data you won't be able to tell what the user
selected - it might not always matter but good to be aware that you would
just see a value like 0 and not know which of the actual responses it
corresponds to
sometimes CommCare might not "remember" which choice was selected; that
is if you answer a question that has two options with the same choice
value, swipe to another question, and then swipe back, the another choice
with the same choice value might be selected.
If these seem like they might be problems it may be safer to follow the
instructions to create hidden values to calculate the scores: Creating a Score Tally - CommCare Public - CommCare Public
Hope this helps,

Thanks for your response! It was really helpful. I'm wondering if you could
clarify a bit more though.
We do need to be able to distinguish between 'no' and 'n/a'. I'm wondering
if you know the best way to do this? I'm still having a bit of trouble even
after looking at the link you sent.
We have numerous questions with the choices of 'yes = 1,' 'no = 0,' and
'n/a = ??.' After answer all the questions, we need be able to tally the
scores to find the total. Additionally, we also need to find the potential
total of all the questions so that we can then find the mean (i.e.
actual-total div potential-total). I was thinking of perhaps using the 'if'
statement, but not actually sure how to use it. Any guidance would be
appreciated!!

One approach would be to have two hidden values for each question. So for
question 1 you would have
question1_no with calculation if(/data/question1 = "no", 1,'')
question1_na with calculation if(/data/question1 = "na", 1,'')
Then at the end you could sum all of the _no and _na hidden values like:
total_no with calculation /data/question1_no + /data/question2_no + etc.
total_na with calculation /data/question1_na + /data/question2_na + etc...
However that approach does seem cumbersome and requires a lot of hidden
values, so maybe someone else on this list will have a more elegant
approach.

I'm not totally sure but I think you would just use the same approach
described here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/commcare-users/5U5leWR2XQo/HvtzybaGBwAJ
That is, you would have a hidden value outside of the repeat group which
uses sum() to count up whatever was entered, and then you can in turn use
that hidden value in a "master" hidden value that adds up everything.
