Stack-ups in NX8.5

[Rubicon500]

Is it possible to create an excel spreadsheet within a drawing and associate dimensions from the drawing in the spreadsheet? I know how to insert an excel sheet, but how would I link dimensions in it to do simple calculations? The idea being to create simple stack-up loops and have them update when dimensions change? Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have any feedback on this? How are people handling simple stack-ups otherwise?

Me too. I have always wondered what would be a great way of doing tolerance stacks and keeping your dimensions associative with the Excel stack up loop sheet.
