ACF uses get_field so you can get the value before you output it. Just make sure you have a $total_credit
variable before you start the loop and just add to it. When the loop is done print the total to your table.
NOTE: This is just pseudo code, so don’t copy/paste this, just use it as a reference on how to add the value then output the total.
<?php
// Define the total credits
$total_credit = 0;
$post_list = new wp_query( $post_args ); ?>
<table style="width:100%"><?php
if( $post_list->have_posts() ) : while( $post_list->have_posts() ) : $post_list->the_post();
// Get the current credits
$cur_credit = get_field('cpd_credits');
// Add to the total credits
$total_credit += $cur_credit;
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
<tr>
<td>Total: <?php
// Print the final total
echo $total_credit;
?></td>
</tr>
</table>
