IIRC these kinds of things are in the Org manual and info pages. Helm's helm-info-org command is very helpful for finding things in the Org info manual. I learned something new today: I didn't realize that Org could use calc-mode commands in tables. Wow. Org never ceases to surprise and amaze me! So googling for "org table calc" I got the manual page: http://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html It wouldn't hurt to add a section to that page explaining how to find more info about the calc functions... ;)
