Basically I have a several figures that are all divided by the same
number. However, the several figures aspect of the spreadsheet
changes quite frequently, and all of the figures will always be
divided by the same number. (eg, B4 {=5000 / A1}, B5 {=7000 /
A1}, ...etc.) However, when one goes to change a number (lets say
5000 from the aforementioned example), the user must type ' = 5500 /
A1'. The question was, is there was a way to streamline that to
where certain designated cells were always divided by said cell.
Hence, the user could just go through the spreadsheet and type '5500'
and the appropriate change is made.

I know I can decouple the implementation from the interface (sounds a
lot like a visitor pattern ;-) ), however that would require an
undesirable extra set of cells.

Not sure what you mean, but instead of "=10*25" you can have a formula like "=A1*B1" and fill 10 in A1 and 25 in B1. You can
change A1 and B1 and get different results from the formula without changing the formula itself.
