I am using gnuplot to plot some data from a table:

#+tblname: monthly_total_mileage
|-------+----------|
| Month | Distance |
|-------+----------|
| Jan   |   272.04 |
| Feb   |   317.11 |
| Mar   |   354.27 |
| Apr   |   288.21 |
| May   |   488.35 |
| Jun   |   444.92 |
| Jul   |   497.21 |
| Aug   |   625.35 |
| Sep   |      821 |
| Oct   |    717.9 |
| Nov   |          |
| Dec   |          |
|-------+----------|
| Total |  4826.36 |
|-------+----------|


#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=monthly_total_mileage :file 
./monthly_total_mileage.png
   reset

   set boxwidth 0.5
   set xlabel 'month'
   set ylabel 'distance, km'

   plot data u 2:xticlabels(1) notitle with boxes fs solid 0.5
#+end_src

Ideally I want Babel to ignore the Totals row, so it doesn't get 
processed and plotted by gnuplot. Is there any way of doing this? I want 
to publish the data in several formats, some of which require me to 
display the total and some of which don't.

Any other workarounds gratefully accepted.

Ian.

Aloha Ian,

Will indexable variable values do what you want? Something like :var
data=monthly_total_mileage[0:-3,]?
 
hth,
Tom

Thanks Thomas that works fine. Can you point me to where indexable 
variables are documented, as my feeble search skills seem to be faiing.

Ian.

They are documented here: http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var, a bit
more than halfway down the long page.

All the best,
Tom
