"bubble gum and duct tape programming job" – I guess you just found a name for the programming paradigm I plan to implement :)
As I understood in your case a system was a mix of what spreadsheets are good fit in (accounting) and where it is currently a kludge (gathering and massaging data).
So I think I'll explore data massaging in more depth. I am a bit concerned however with the representation of hierarchical data (like JSON) in spreadsheet model.
