Curious: what is a 'quotation'? Is it in the sense of a 'financial
quote'? My usual sources of information were frustratingly unhelpful.

There is, sort of. You can maintain your table in Gnumeric (or the
like) and import it dynamically at document compile via the
Spreadsheet external material. See [1][2]. Alternatively you could use
the 'spreadtab' package as suggested here [3]. You could go with even
fancier solutions such as doing your computations in R (via Sweave)
and outputting the table in LaTeX.
