Somehow it all sounds like patchwork. Doing arithmetic in TeX is
extremely painful.
Please consider LuaTeX. Then you don't need a macro package in order
to find out whether your number contains the letter "e", LuaTeX
supports scientific notation natively. No need to replace small
numbers with zero.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
