I am "sleepless in Louisiana" and ended up playing with Excel in response to all the "xxx miles per time period" challenges in this forum.

Take a look and see if it makes any sense or might be useful to you. feel free to modify, share, or whatever with it.... Well, anything except complain to me about it.
2 formats - csv and xls.
Excel's xls format : https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3jS4oo8nkn4NzkyZTRjZGQtM2IxYS00NGIzLTk5YTMtMmQ1Y2JlMmZmMjQ2&hl=en&authkey=CPzwlOYM

CSV(comma delimited) : https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3jS4oo8nkn4NzkyZTRjZGQtM2IxYS00NGIzLTk5YTMtMmQ1Y2JlMmZmMjQ2&hl=en&authkey=CPzwlOYM
Note: the CSV file works but doesn't have the fancy formatting of the xls file.

Thanks a bunch, drmweaver. I seem to remember one of the forum's other professional curmudgeons admonishing us to track our efforts. This will help.

Definitely NOT an admonishment.. The spreadsheets are the result of "effort" born from sheer boredom and sleeplessness. If you find them useful at all, great. If not, hey, I was tired. ;-)

Still bored, awake and am now into "night before an event" nervousness mode.
So I updated and re-uploaded the two files listed/linked to in the original post.

The Excel xls file is definitely more useful/understandable "out-of-the-box" than the csv version. Other than the file format limitations (csv strips some formatting and a few functions) they are "identical".

Feel free to download & try the new file of your choosing.
Also, feel free to curse me tomorrow as I am riding for not including this or that idea/thought you had or some "bug"/broken formula_or_reference you may have found. I won't hear you, but feel free to do so.
