If the language mode you use supports  of evaluation of the src edit buffer (e.g. ESS[R], Python), you can issue

C-c C-v v C-c C-b

for ESS[R] or

C-c C-v v C-c C-c

for Python (I think)

The commands will expand :var args and noweb declarations, then execute the corresponding 'send-buffer' command regardless of :eval.

I do this by cleaning all result blocks with =C-u C-c C-v k= or (org-babel-remove-result-one-or-many), then executing all blocks (without =:eval no=) using =C-c C-v C-b= or (org-babel-execute-buffer).

Why not use something like this

:eval (ok2run)

where `ok2run' consults a property to decide whether to eval the block?
