What value should you use for anchorage slip (da), when calculating deflection for a wood shear wall that does not have a holddown?
 
If there is no net uplift, then where is the slip?

IMO, that portion of the equation should contain any information related to deformation of the compression chord (i.e. sill plate crushing, hold down deformation, et cetera).
