I have a spreadsheet whose depth depends on an actuarial table. So, for
an example I have a sheet that extends for 10 years, with each row
representing a month:
Row     Date    period  time
11      5/23/2008       1               0
12      6/23/2008       1               2
122     5/23/2008       11              120

So, lets say in cell A1, I have the number of years. Is there a
programmatic way that if the value in cell A1 changes, the spreadsheet
can be extended or contracted. So, in a very simple pseudocode:
        calculate last row based on A1;         If A1 contains 15, the
        last row would be 182.
        copy row 12. 
        paste into rows 13 through 182. 

The reason I ask is that the existing spreadsheet currently has about
80 columns in use. Certainly there needs to be a bit more
intelligence, such as deleting the contents of rows in the case of
reducing the number in A1. But, I'm just looking for some ideas. I'm
good at C++ code, but a novice on spreadsheets even though I bought my
first Visicalc directly from Dan Bricklin.
