I often use org table to perform calculations and export those tables to LaTeX documents.
One thing I always wished I could do with org tables is get it to allow numbers to be decorated with currency symbols, the dollar, euro, yen, etc., as well as grouping commas so that the tables are more suitable for presentation. I can see from the code that there is a function, org-table--number-for-summing, that converts text into numbers for summing, and it would seem it could strip out leading or trailing currency symbols as well as grouping commas before submitting numbers to calc for calculation. Consider this a feature request. I think it would be a very popular enhancement to org. Regards, -- ==================================================== Daniel E. Doherty Law Offices of Daniel E.
