I make my tables with the sc spreadsheet under linux. sc can sort tables, do math etc. as one would expect from a spreadsheet. sc also has the ability to export tables to latex format. I then include the latex files generated by sc into my lyx document.
The sc latex output is a bit stupid in the sense that it does not preserve column alignments, and it does not add vertical and horizontal lines. It does not take long to fix this with a text editor afterwards. If I remember correctly, the gnumeric spreadsheet could also output latex, It might be a bit smarter than sc.
