Class summary sheets - bringing in data from multiple sources to one easy PDF summary

(Not real data) This was my first "big" coding project at the school. The mission, as given to me, was to create a way for teachers to get a succinct, one page overview for each of their classes, with all the breakdowns required for their data analysis. At the time, I had not yet begun to learn Python and most of my programming experience was in Visual Basic, Java, PHP and Javascript. As the data was Excel-based, my immediate thought was to use Visual Basic as I could then have the option of developing it into a full plugin in future (which was actually done by a colleague later on).
