To do automatically it seems quite hard, even in real spreadheet programs it
require many if structures, checking if field is empty or no.  Maybe you
make extra copy row with "percentage weights", but make zero weights of
assignments not yet done, and use new weight row for column 15?  Then you
put new weight in new row to make assignment active for "cumulative grade"?

This I do by using field formula for first field, then column formula for
rest:

     $2=@-1+1::@5$2=1
