Yes, Org column view is equipped to do all kinds of aggregations like
to calculate the average/sum/min/max/... of the _lower_ level columns,
see "{summary-type}" in:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-attributes.html#Column-attributes

To get an idea of the power of column view I would also recommend
