Even though this is a frequent request, LaTeX export of entire org-mode documents has not yet been realized. You can, however, embed an org-mode table into a LaTeX document, use org-mode commands to edit it and to execute calculations in it, and then convert it to LaTeX that will be processed correctly. I am using this all the time when I make exercises for my students, including computing results. The version of Org-mode distributed with Emacs 22 can do this.
