With an average seniority of no more than 3 years in the Microsoft cloud technology sphere, we have found the Retro badge a rather tricky one. After some failed attempts, our dear, and much more experienced, judges gave us a hint – look for features that are almost depricated.

Luckily, we were in desperate need for an easy way to grade the Hogwarts’ students automatically. We therefore decided to use the nearly depricated calculated columns to solve our business need.

We operate with a simpe passed/failed grading system – once you reach 1000 points, you pass the subject, no matter how far into the semester you are. If you don’t reach 1000 points until the end of the semester, you will fail the subject.
