I don't know how to use pivot tables, alas! Is this something you'd be interested in looking into using last year's spreadsheet data? I can usually cargo-cult my way into updating something once I have an example set up.

The types of editing are very interesting, thanks! That many gradations are probably more than are needed for most Yuletide purposes, but the question of sensitivity reading is one I need to give serious thought to.

As for the acknowledging as a beta reader, I've always had that conversation with writers I've beta'ed for, and I'm reluctant to overload the spreadsheet--which, as you say, is definitely unwieldy though I do my best! But I will mull it over.
