You don't need to use an equation to create a formula in a table. The
Equation editors are for writing equations, such as (x+a)^n but in an
equation format. For example the "n" in my crude example would convert to
superscript if I were using the new Equation editor.
That being the case, what you want is a Table Formula. Place your insertion
point in the cell for the formula, on the contextual Table Tools, on the
Layout tab, click Formula (at the end). Then create your formula, which
depends on the calculation you are trying to use. For example if you want to
add two cells together, it would be something like =A1+A2.
