Did You Know? MAS Administrators can upload .csv files into Google Sheets (solution for current format issues)

Friday, October 11, 2019
The CIECT Team recently explored solutions to the current format issues experienced by lecturers and administrators, when capturing marks offline.

The Marks Administration System allows Marks Administrators & Lecturers – to capture student marks offline, with the use of Microsoft Excel (MS Excel). Due to format constraints on several versions of MS Excel, the Comma Separated Value (.csv) file would not display in the correct format. It is advised that MS Excel 2013 is used so that the .csv file will be displayed in the correct format.

Alternative Solution:
Marks Administrators & Lecturers can upload the .csv file into Google Sheets which will display the .csv file in the correct format. Marks Administrators would then be able to:

  • Update the file in Google Sheets;
  • Save the .csv file on their computers and;
  • Upload it to the MAS system.
