We present a systematic spreadsheet method for modeling and optimizing general partial differential algebraic equations (PDAE). The method exploits a pure spreadsheet PDAE solver function design that encapsulates the Method of Lines and permits seamless integration with an Excel spreadsheet nonlinear programming solver. Two alternative least-square dynamical minimization schemes are devised and demonstrated on a complex parameterized PDAE system with discontinues properties and coupled time derivatives. Applying the method involves no more than defining a few formulas that closely parallel the original mathematical equations, without any programming skills. It offers a simpler alternative to more complex environments which require nontrivial programming skill and effort.
