That looks like it will work. I don't have calc on my work system so
I'll have to do the elisp equivalent but that won't be hard. Say
something like so:
* wealth management
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
| item | amount | balance |
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
| paid | 50.00 | 50.00 |
| baby's new pair of shoes | -25.00 | 25.00 |
| chips | -2.50 | 22.50 |
| my birthday! | 100.00 | 122.50 |
| speeding fine :( | -200.00 | -77.50 |
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
#+TBLFM: $3='(apply '+ '(@-I$-1..$-1));N%.2f
Thanks,
Edd

Hi Eddward
Does this do what you want?
* wealth management
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
| item | amount | balance |
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
| paid | 50.00 | 50.00 |
| baby's new part of shoes | -25.00 | 25.00 |
| chip | -2.50 | 22.50 |
| my birthday! | 100.00 | 122.50 |
| speeding fine :( | -200.00 | -77.50 |
|--------------------------+---------+---------|
#+TBLFM: $3=vsum(@-I$-1..$-1);f2
By explicitly doing the summation, I avoid any dependence on the order
in which each row is calculated. I think that your version fails
because your formula makes no sense for the first row: you can't add a
string ("total") to a float (50.00).
Cheers
