This is most useful, thanks a lot!

For the record, here is the solution using org-sbe:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+name: spending
#+begin_src sh :var c="bar" :results silent
expr $c
#+end_src

| Category | Budget | Spending |
|----------+--------+----------|
| Food     |   1000 | Food     |
| Rent     |   1000 | Rent     |
#+TBLFM: $3='(org-sbe "spending" (c (concat "\"" $1 "\"")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks again,

Alan
