Hi Matthew,

Good idea.  I've added a :conds parameter which can do just that, see
the example below.  Notice that :conds should be a list of tests, not
just one single test, if this proves awkward it would be easy to add
a :cond parameter which doesn't require a list.

One issue with this setup, is that it's not clear what a stable way
would be to specify the #+TBLFM line.  Since the size of the table could
vary the field in which the sum should be placed could move around.
With the table below a #+TBLFM line like this

  #+TBLFM: @II+1$2=vsum(@I+1..@II-1)

would work, but currently org-table does not allow the @I style
references before the = sign in the table formula.  I wonder if this
would be hard difficult to change?

Thanks -- Eric



* Example

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols (ITEM amount)
| "ITEM"                           | "amount" |
|----------------------------------+----------|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" |    56.77 |
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"    |    30.67 |
|----------------------------------+----------|
|                                  |    87.44 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@I+1..@II-1)
#+END:
