Thanks again for your assistance,

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.
