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
