Good morning,
I want to calculate up the total credit hours a students withdrew from in their courses for the semester. For instance, a person is enrolled in 4 courses for a total of 12 total credit hours. Each course is 3 hours. The student withdrew from 2 courses, which is a total of 6 withdrawn hours. He has 6 remaining hours.

I have the total credit hours which is 12. The issue is adding each course that is withdrawn and then subtracting them from the total credit hours.

The program is below. Please assist.

Looking at ENROLLED HRS and SECTION HRS.
(Summing the section hours)

Try setting a defined field with withdrawal hrs and just add the two fields:
withdraw/d12.2 = if withdraw then -1 * enrolled_hrs else 0;

Something like that --

Hope it helps.

Vivian,
I read your post but need clarification. I have added the defined withdraw field which I believe is adding up the number of withdraw courses, but I need to count the credit hours of the withdrawn courses and subtract it from the total credit hours (which is the total number of hours enrolled at the beginning of the semester). The statement you provided seems to only count the number of courses that the student may have withdrawn from. Please clarify.

Terri1977,

If you run a report and SUM the new defined field BY NAME1 along with your other fields do you see the correct results in the new defined field? I think you say it gives the right results. Run a basic report to see your results then add in your calculation.

For - "need to count the credit hours of the withdrawn courses" - Set up another defined field for this calculation.

You have a multi verb request and therefore are SUMming fields and PRINTing fields. You can also use column notation to set up a COMPUTE in the PRINT section to do the subtraction.

As you mentioned - need to count the credit hours of the withdrawn courses and subtract it from the total credit hours.
- Total credit hours can be done in your SUM section
- create a compute using column notation to do the subtraction

There are many examples of using column notation on the forum: I searched on "column notation"
