This is a very interesting idea. Just looked at word2wikiplus (at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Word2MediaWikiPlus) and found it to work quite well. Might be able to 'modify' it a bit to do the same with xls.
Thanks for the idea

An alternative I've used is to continue to use the spreadsheet so it will do the calculations but then have either a macro or an extra workbook that allows you to output the result in wikitext including the wiki table syntax and then paste it into the wiki, this does rather depend on the frequency of updating etc needed.
