You'll find such an excel spreadsheet on my website:

http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek

...and then choose in the menu "my meteor related Excell-applications".
The spreadsheet in question is named "Metorb08.xls" and was written by me. If
you use it, please refer to the source by refering to the WGN paper.
