What you are referring to are probably multidimensional spreadsheets. These are
for some 20 years around, and more and more companies use such custom solutions,
but it seems open source projects are not yet open to these ideas.

Another concept are hierarchical databases. These are indeed extensively used
e.g. in clinical trials, and it would fit well in your description of the
organization of a department:
HEAD
 |- DEPT 1
 |   |_ SUBDEPT 1: <actual sheet>
 |
 |- DEPT 2
 |   |- SUBDEPT 1: <actual sheet>
 |   |- SUBDEPT 2: <actual sheet>
 |   |- SUBDEPT 3: <actual sheet>
 |   |_ SUBDEPT 4: <actual sheet>
 |
 |_ DEPT 1
     |- SUBDEPT 1: <actual sheet>
     |- SUBDEPT 2: <actual sheet>
     |_ SUBDEPT 3: <actual sheet>

I think that this tree structure can be solved with a multidimensional 
spreadsheet.
