Thanks Grandfather for reformatting this post. This humble acolyte will endeavor not to make the same error again.

The purpose of the app is to perform some basic data analysis on students. This is a one off project. I will be performing the analysis a few times on different data sets and compare the results.

Based on the suggestions, I have implemented using HoH. The application is working, and I am getting usable results

Thanks!
