On RIA Forge, I remember this project: http://cfxl.riaforge.org/
Description: CFXL lets you quickly and easily create new spreadsheets and modify or read data from existing spreadsheets. This project abstracts and simplifies the POI API while still allowing you to get into the depths of that API. Support and other licenses available if needed. This will make your Excel nightmares go away. :) I have not tried it, but it has been updated recently and may remove some of what you are trying to achieve. Teddy R.
