Well, well memory fails. https://list.orgmode.org/874koc38zn.fsf@gnu.org/T/ I asked a similar question three years ago, the first two columns are not exported because of this (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'f-ox-filter-table-column-del) (defun f-ox-filter-table-column-del (back-end) "Delete the columns $2 to $> marked as \"/\" on a row with \"/\" in $1. If you want a non-empty column $1 to be deleted make it $2 by inserting an empty column before or rearrange column order in some other way. Make sure \"/\" is in $1 again after that." (while (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*| +/ +|\\(.*?|\\)?? +\\(/\\) +|" nil t) (goto-char (match-beginning 2)) (org-table-delete-column) (beginning-of-line))) But it is not working for the csv export would be nice if it would > And it is expected.
