Thanks for the update. This is fantastic! It makes it very easy to put
a subset of property data in a nice, clean table and thus adds
powerful spreadsheet functionality to org-mode.

I considered the same thing when I inquired about selecting for a
particular condition--namely, that it would interfere the #+TBLFM
formula.
If allowing for the @I reference before the equal is not possible, I
wonder whether another notation could be added to org-table that would
designate the last field in a column (or row)---since such fields are
often used to show the results of calculations. That would enable one
to create a stable formula that would survive changes to the number of
rows in a table. (In other words, one could add rows to the table and
still ensure that the formula is attached to the last row.) I'd agree,
however, that begin able to use @I before the equal would be
preferable, because then (as far as I understand it) one could
designate arbitrary "fixed" positions in tables with hlines.
Thanks,
Matt
