You can, for example, do
| 1 USD | 2 USD | 4 USD | 7 USD |
#+tblfm: $4=vsum($1..$3)
Emacs calc is able to work with arbitrary ascii symbols or even units.
However, calc does not appear work with unicode. If Emacs calc were to
support unicode, it would automatically work in Org.
Also, you can
enable latex in calc via
(setq org-calc-default-modes
'(calc-internal-prec 12
calc-float-format (float 8)
calc-angle-mode deg
calc-prefer-frac nil
calc-symbolic-mode nil
calc-language latex ;; <--- this is new compared to
default
calc-date-format (YYYY "-" MM "-" DD " " Www (" " hh ":"
mm))
calc-display-working-message t))
Then, the following will work
| \dollar1 | \dollar2 | \dollar3 | 6 \dollar |
#+tblfm: $4=vsum($1..$3)
Best,
