Thank you for posting the example data. My rough estimate was not that 
far away from your actual requirement (in fact everybody tries the same 
trivial thing, assuming that a spreadsheet must be the right tool which 
it isn't).
Since we are going to automate the processing of data records using one 
software tool or the other, it is vital to have the exact structure of 
the incoming data, particularly when the structure is beyond your control.
When you are going to engage an architect for a reconstruction of your 
familiy home, an album of polaroids and some verbal description won't be 
enough for a rough estimate on possibilities and costs. You need 
detailed plans, measurements, a chronological history of the house and 
the materials involved.
This is about engineering, the ugly little sister of magic.
