If all you want to do is exclude a single top-level heading then I would just assign a tag to that heading that you won't be assigning to any other heading. In this case you can probably get away with something simple, like 'data'. If you're not sure how to do this put your cursor on the heading you don't want exported and press C-cC-q and type the name of the tag you chose. Then, at the top of the file (or anywhere, really), put a line like this: #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: data This will prevent the section you tagged with this tag from being exported.
