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.
