A good demonstration that excel needs some very-easy-to-use macro-ing capabilities. And perhaps a better business model for this stuff would be to wrap up this functionality as a $20 set of excel macros. There's a healthy market for excel macros - it should do well. I do this kind of manipulation quite a lot, but use my lovely emacs to do it. snip snip - easy peasy. But I know it's not reasonable to expect regular excel users to use emacs.
