Sooo... SC2 uses excel spreadsheets for unit data right?

It actually uses a XML-based catalog system. Practically, data is stored in specific XML files (Core.SC2Mod, Liberty.SC2Mod and LibertyMulti.SC2Mod - core files + one belonging to the custom map). You can of course import the files into Microsoft Excel and then perform various manipulations on the resulting spreadsheet (through VBA scripts, for instance).
I personally prefer the XML-parsing & manipulation in a stand-alone programming IDE (such as Java - NetBeans/Eclipse or C#/VB - .NET) than introducing the spreadsheet as an intermediary data container to be manipulated by VBA scripts, but to each their own.
Good luck!

No mater how good your mathematics are, they will never calculate perfectly ballenced units.
