Is there a way to exclude columns when exporting a document containing tables?

I know it is somewhat possible by using radio tables and :skipcols,
but that would be a problem. I have _many_ tables and duplicate each
of them, in addition of naming all of them, would be really
complicated.

I'm searching for a solution similar to the exclude row method "/".

Thanks in advance!

There is nothing built into the table code right now
which would let you do this.

This has already been asked on the list -- I added a FAQ to
worg/org-faq.org.  

This is not that hard to implement, though.  I'll add this to 
the list of possible features.

Thanks,

Well,you need to add some extra syntax.  Maybe using ATTR_ stuff, so as to not litter up the table itself any more?

Yes, additional syntax should live outside the table and be
backend-dependant.  

I will see how org-export.el and org-element.el handle #+ATTR_* 
for tables and think about the new syntax from there, as Nicolas'
work has been done for this exact purpose: add more flexibility
at export time on *any* element.

Thanks,
