Who assigns the group numbers? Is that the program or part of the data?

I have no idea what that means. How does time enter into
the calculation? You allocate teachers to their *nearest* venue.
Where does time enter into that? There must be some other
criteria? You schedule to them to the nearest venue that
they have not already visited within the last week/month
or something?

The code got through but the data didn't. The server only permits
text based attachments. However your code is over 300 lines long
and poorly structured (hint create some well named functions!)

Meanwhile you have not given us any clues about what kind of help you
need. Does it work? Does it fail with an error - what error?
Does it fail to load the data correctly - in what way?

You cannot seriously expect us to wade through 300+ lines of
code that, by your own admission, only partially describes
the problem with nothing more than a loosely defined problem
description.

We won't do your homework for you. Tell us what you are
having difficulties with and we will try to help.
But first, for all our sakes, go back and restructure your
code into functions with reasonable names. Each one
performing one clearly defined part of your solution.

Then perhaps it will be easier to see where the issue(s)
lie and certainly easier to describe them.
