just cobble some crap together in excel like a normal person

i want it to look pretty and all the data i want to recall is in a txt doc and i don't know how to do that with excel

These examples aren't pretty, but they're functional.  You can basically make excel look as non-excel like as you want with a little vba in the background.  And you'd read in non-delimited text basically like you would with any other program.  I make a lot of dashboards for a variety of projects to track or report and they all pull in data from a database or text files.  But, since I don't know what you are wanting to do, this may or may not be helpful.

Basically what I want to do is this:

I have about 1000+ "model numbers" each with 4 dimensions in a text file. The dimensions are in decimal inches.

I would like to be able to enter a model # and have it display the 4 dimensions in various forms (individually, sum of the whole, etc) but have them converted to nearest 1/8th of an inch in the display

Well even I could do that in Excel.

Lib did you download the Gorgeous extension for Excel?  Makes it much more attractive.

(I have never in my life seen look pretty as a software requirement lol.)

Tell me more.

How hard would it be to program a basic PI or PID function with both digital open/close and like 0-10v or 4-20mA output?

I'm just kidding, like UI is very important.  But, good enough is good enough.

I just followed an instructables on how to mimic capacitive touch on a phone with a relay on an arduino uno.  I definitely have no idea what what any of the above means.

@TBT

I would like to be able to utilize a SOAP client to get NOAA weather data.  Is there a way to utilize a chrome plugin or something in place of building my own (0% chance I could do that)?

Without more information on the why and how it's kind of hard to say. Just doing some quick searching I found this chrome plugin

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boomerang-soap-rest-clien/eipdnjedkpcnlmmdfdkgfpljanehloah?hl=en

Idk if this will work but it has some good reviews and the docs seem ok.  Hopefully that helps.

I found that and soapclient.com , is the idea to parse the wsdl file and then use the syntax of that document to invoke a response from the the server? The WSDL file im using is http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl but when I try to do the Latlonzipcode function drop down it kicks back the template again.

Yeah the wsdl file is just how the web service works, the actual calls are from the functions in the wsdl file.  Honestly I don't do much of anything with SOAP, I use web api's and RESTful in applications that I use.  So idk how much help I can be with these, I also like JSON way more than dealing with XML based responses for stuff like this.
