Hi Johan,
You can't attach metadata such as tags to table rows. Two things come to
mind.
1. If you just want the table for visual purposes (as opposed for doing
calculations with it), then you could use column-view. I.e. you would
have a subtree for groceries and a subtree for car; categories such
as date, note and sum would be stored in properties.
http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-view.html#Column-view
Visibility cycling works in column view so you can group and ungroup the rows.
[is there anyway of creating a normal Org table from a column view
"table"?]
2. org-babel: If you're happy with a suitable supported language, then
store the category label in a column and you can transform the master
table however you want. R would be a convenient language for working
with a table like this.
