thanks!  below is the final result of your suggestion.  (my table was
long, so i had to use longtable; i also used a "landscape" documentclass
variant in order to hold more columns for printing.)

cheers, Greg

selecting columns to export

[Greg Minshall]

hi.  i have an org-mode table with a large number of columns, but would
like to export only a small number of them.  is there an obvious way of
doing this?

cheers, Greg

Put a partial echo code block (one where you select in the var header argument
which columns interest you), and output the results of that code block?

Best regards,
