This is possible in Word (and Excel).

You can link word tables to excel and, provided your analysis updates your spreadsheet, can refresh all data instantly.

You can also refer to values in tables in the body of the text.

I know this because I worked in an environment where Word was the only option!

I’ve also programmatically programmed generation of word documents using CPAN modules in a past life. I’m sure there’s better packages these days.
