I dunno, that doesn't sound right - even an AW should have some offset. The driver/cog is on one side, and it isn't on the other, so therefore there is an offset unless you want either a bunch of spacers on the left or your rim off to the side looking goofy and braking funny.

I've built three set of wheels in the past few months. I found wheels that looked like mine, and then measured. It worked fine. Maybe try that, just as a confirmation? I don't trust Excel. I'd like to see it right there in front of me.
