The only reason I'm writing the list about it is because it may help others out with similar situations. I can put ($) in headings were columns contain all currency figures. That would normally be a prefix to those numbers so I might write ($) amount as a column heading but I would not be surprised if I got an org-mode spreadsheet with a heading like performance (%) in it and could understand that all entries in that column were percentages. This may be a way to handle both prefixes and suffixes in spreadsheet applications for org-mode in the future. --
