Retention Rate by program
I have a file for students' first-year program and the second-year program. I need to calculate the retention rate which will be a count of students' IDs for the first-year program divided by students who kept with the same program in the second year. For instance, in accounting, I had 66 students in the first year, and out of the 66, I had 39 who stayed in a program. But some students change the program to accounting so if we only count second-year accounting we will get 51. But I need 39/66. I tried grouping, splitting tables, and all except but nothing seems to work.

asuprunova , You have to follow an approach like below, your current vs past can based on year or semester, use a separate table to build that
