Hi Jim

Isn't this a normal rounding issue?
If you calculate the final grading as:

  FinalGrading = Int(AverageGrading + 0.5)

you will get an "O" for an average grading of 4.7.

> O               100 - 90
> V               89 - 80
> G               79- 70
> I               69 - 60
> U               Below 60
