A very complex way of not adding the extra column:
| name | a | b | c |
|------+----+---+---|
| foo | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| bar | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| bar | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|------+----+---+---|
| | 7 | | |
#+TBLFM: @5$2='(apply '+ (mapcar* (lambda(x y) (if (string= x "bar") y 0)) '(@I$1..@II$1) '(@I$2..@II$2)));L
* the two arguments at the end are the name and a columns: '(foo bar bar) and '(1 3 4)
* the lambda function returns the second argument if first is "bar", 0 otherwise.
* mapcar* applies the lambda function to arguments from the 2 lists.
* apply '+ adds the resulting list
