Adding up story points for queries?
For planing activities, all the time I have to add the story points for a set of stories.
And I can't find any built-in support for that.

-
export my query result,

import into some spread sheet,

Have you tried creating a plan for the Iteration / Timeline these stories belong to (assuming you are looking at the stories of the same iteration) ?
The Plan's Progress Bar can then show the progress in terms of the story points which would be the summation of the story points of all the stories of that iteration.

Specifically, you can browse to the Progress and Load Bars section :
Rational Team Concert > Collaborating > Creating development plans > Planning the development using the web client > Managing work items > Progress and Load Bars
Here is a snapshot from the JKE Banking sample > BRM Sprint 1 (1.0) Plan showing the Progress Bar which a summation of the overall story points and completion out of it :
please elaborate if this does not address your concern.

A plan doesn't help me. I dont want to modify the "planned for" for all my stories ...
Basically I have like 150 stories; and we put different tags on them to "link" them certain "overall line items". Now I need some easy way to figure: what is the story point count for all stories tagged "A", "B", ...
ok i understand the requirement better now and agree that planning will not help you as your stories do not share the timeline/iteration.... BIRT reporting is something that I would explore next.. though at the moment I do not know if its possible.. will add an update if I find something for you...
