use/advantage is there in all that effort in setting them up and then updating them. A friend said she used spreadsheets for her home garden

I use them a bit - force of habit as I used them a lot in my work, but it could be any number of things. Some examples could be:
Stop right there. Just stop.

:) I'm happy to report that I'm on the beer right now. Thanks for the
advice.

At the moment...
How many courgette plants can I fit in a 1.2m x 3.6m raised bed,
maintaining 0.9m between plants, but allowing foliage to overhang the side
of the bed. It depends on what distance you allow, for the root ball,
between the plant and the edge of the bed (a requirement I haven't seen specified anywhere, but from what I've seen is a lot less extensive than
the foliage).

I created a simple spreadsheet for a friend who did landscape gardening;
it calculated volumes and weight of material from the dimensions of the
plot. The inputs could be area or volume, if known, or lengths and
depth; each one in any common unit. This meant that if she had measured
the length in feet or metres and the client had specified the depth in inches, the spreadsheet would still work.
As an add-on, it calculated the weight of most common materials of known density and allowed the user to specify alternative densities for
special materials.

After a bit of spread sheeting and trigonometry, on a white board, it
looks to be five plants. I'll be giving each plant a 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.45m station, dug out and half filled with compost before replacing the soil. There'll be just over 0.9m between plants. That'll need just over 0.4
cubic metres of compost - I'll get down there and measure my compost
bin... ;o)

In the end, I'll probably just eyeball it, but it presents an interesting >problem, if you like puzzles and it is raining.

You are allowing more for the roots than I would. But that's just a
matter of judgement.
My thinking is now:
Root ball radius (cm) - number of plants in bed
19 - 9 20 - 8 23 - 7 27 - 6 28 - 5
