Once the report has been exported to Excel. Subtotal the report by change in ID to SUM the number of GPA Credits and Quality Points.
Then, select the #2 subtotaled report and sort by the GPA Credit <total> column to eliminate all students with less than 20 earned credits.
Using the remaining fields in the subtotal, add a new column for GPA and Divide the Total Quality Points by the Total GPA Credits.
You will re-sort the remaining students by the GPA column to then eliminate any student with a Social Sciences GPA of less than 3.0000
For this sample, only 3 students would qualify for both the Total Credits and the 3.0000 GPA for all of the courses in the Social Sciences.
