You don't actually need the calculator. Each unit earns you points, which depend on the size of the unit (in GLH, guided learning hours) and your grade (NP, P, M, or D) in that unit. For external (exam-based) units, it also depends on the mark you achieved in the exam (you get more points for a higher mark, even if you didn't reach the next grade threshold).

For each of the units you've listed above, the number you've provided on the far right is the number of points that unit has earned you. (Although for external units it's actually the minimum number of points that unit has earned you, as more marks get you more points, but that doesn't seem to have been accounted for in your data.)

So all you need to do is sum the far right number in each column, and then look-up the associated grade in the "Points threshold" column for the Extended Diploma below (taken from the specification).

I make your total points 229, hence a DDD. I suspect that you'll have also earned above the minimum points for each external unit (based in the marks obtained in each exam) so you've probably earned enough for a D*DD. But without your exam marks, that's impossible to confirm.
