I second that it would be very nice to be able to specify calc/elisp
functions to be applied to property values before dumping the results to
tables.  I run IR experiments, and dump the results to org-mode
formatted text files with individual runs as subtrees and specific
values stored as properties of those trees, I then use column tables to
collect these values into tables which I plot with org-plot.  It would
be nice to be able to preserve #+PLOT lines for these tables as well as
apply formulas to the tables. -- Eric
