Has anyone done up a spreadsheet that will allow you to punch in the variables of a class, and it spits out the stats you an expect to have at leach level, or possibly charts them in a graph?
How about one that allows you to see what various formulas will spit out, damage wise, based on stats per level for a class?
Or is that something I would have to come up with myself if I am wanting to have some numbers crunched for class balancing?
This might be what you're looking for.

That is quite neat.
That is similar to what I am looking for.
But I want ither a customizable spreadsheet to start from, or to know how that works, so that I can balance the classes in a hack I am working on with a large number of custom classes.

You'll probably want this. It's Raven's fantastic spreadsheets that you can customize for different growths/ modifiers etc.
Oh, thank you Kyozo. That's going to save me so much time.
I was in the middle of making my own sheet based on what I was able to find, and comparing the two, I was on the right track but it would have taken me quite a while to get there.
So, when I am designing abilities (such as Crush Punch, to take an example). How do the formulas factor in? How do weapon stats factor into the formulas?
