Remove Category Weighting?

I set up my Gradebook for multiple classes using category weights, but didn't realize that I actually don't want the weights in there. Is there a way to remove the weighting, or do I need to create new gradebooks and enter all the data again? Thanks in advance!

I set up a gradebook, started entering grades, etc., and now realized that I want to do Category Weighting instead of Standard Weighting. Where is the setting to change that? I don't see it in the Settings sheet anywhere.

Unfortunately you will have to create a new GradeBook. Each GradeBook has its own calculations based on the type. If you are using Google Classroom you can re-import all of your information.

A possible solution:

-Create 1 category worth 100% of the course, you can call it anything (in the settings sheet)

-Set all assignments to this category

-on the settings sheet (row 16) change Categories - Student Report Sort by to: Date or Title (This will ensure no categories appear on reports)

This essentially removes category weighting since all assignments will be in the same category.

Thank you! This makes sense. So what do I put for the "weight" in my assignment columns now? Same as total points?

And on an unrelated note, is there a way to add anymore annotations instead of just "E - Exempt"? Thanks :)
