How do you create an exam average column in the grade book that calculates based off the weight and their exam grades and not count toward final grades?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!
Currently, this is not something that is possible in Canvas. If you are using weighted assignment groups, it automatically adds that group to the Total column. You can turn off the Totals columns so that students can't see that but you can't make it where the assignment group totals don't count in the overall Total.
