Business problem

Encoding grade records by hand requires repetitive field navigation, careful formatting, and consistent handling of missing values.

What I built

A desktop tool reads Excel files, formats grades, handles missing data, uses controlled delays, and automates keyboard navigation and field entry.

How I built the workflow

01

Load Excel

The operator selects the grade source file.

02

Format data

Grades are normalized and missing values are handled.

03

Automate entry

The tool navigates fields and inputs values using controlled timing.
