I think spreadsheet-like calculations are out-of-scope for CSS.
However, there are some proposals for more functionality from
counters, e.g. the target-counter() function
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-gcpm/#cross-references
and I think there was one for a last-count() or max-count()
function to grab the highest counter value.
