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:
