If you're using Prototype.js in your application, please take a look at Tablekit. Check Github for any projects that bring it into Rails, or just use it manually in your views. Very simple, one Ajax callback to edit and update the content of a table cell. You could add some RJS or similar to further register updates to a sum cell or other calculation.

Just use spreadsheet gem:

http://rubygems.org/gems/spreadsheet

That's just for writing a spreadsheet out in a desktop format (or parsing one as a data source). The OP said they wanted a spreadsheet view, I guess it's ambiguous, but I was thinking they meant a Web view that acted like a spreadsheet within a browser. Tablekit can do that.
