ECTS letters as the Ministry of Higher Education and Science (UFM) pairs them with the 7-point scale; 02 is the lowest pass. The 13-scale column is the official conversion from 2007 (BEK nr 262 af 20/03/2007, bilag 2), used when old grades go into a new average. It runs one way only: a 7 on the new scale does not tell you whether the old grade was 8 or 9.

Sum of grade × ECTS divided by the graded ECTS, rounded half up to 2 decimals, the way Danish transcripts commonly show it. Your institution's rules decide which courses count (usually only passed, final grades) and the rounding; check them before relying on the figure.
US GPA and UK degree classes have no official conversion from the Danish scale. Each receiving institution or credential evaluator uses its own, so none is offered here.
