Welcome Megan,

I suspect that this is doable, but perhaps not in the way you're thinking. 
 I have no experience with Google Spreadsheets, but I don't think there is 
any way to modify data or trigger macros attached to the sheets via the 
Visualization query API.  What you could try, though, is setting up the 
calculations server-side in PHP or client-side in javascript, though if 
you're new to coding, then javascript is probably easier to work with.  I 
took a quick look at the wiki entry you posted, and I *think* it requires 
some functions not explicitly provided by javascript, but it doesn't look 
like there's anything you *can't* do in js (with some custom functions) 
either.

Mozilla has very good javascript reference documentation: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference, in particular you may 
have need of the Math object: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math

http://www.jsfiddle.net/ is a good place to play around with javascript to 
test things out (and you can save your code to share with others if you find 
something vexing or have a brilliant idea).

Google's Visualization Playground (
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization) lets you 
experiment with the various kinds of charts, examine the different ways they 
can be constructed, and see what the options do.

Googling "javascript tutorial" will get you a bunch of resources, though I 
would recommend against anything from W3Schools - they are often vague, 
incomplete, or just plain wrong about the subjects they purport to be 
experts in.
