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 Carsten's talk at 00:18:23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJTwQvgfgMM#t=18m23s and Russell's talk at about 00:54:00 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2572085463585491742 Michael
