Hi
4 years ago Michael Brand provided the following nice solution, which as
far as I know is still not in master.
(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)))
What is this code does can be best explained with the following example
table
| / | <> | <> | <> | <> | <> | <>
| / | / | <> |
| | Title | L | M | X | J | V
| Obligation | Balance | Past Balance |
|---+------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+------------+---------+--------------|
| | Statistics | 11:00-12:00 | 12:00-13:00 | 12:00-12:00 | 12:00-13:00 |
| | | |
| | PDE | 12:30-13:30 | | 13:00-14:15 | |
12:30-13:30 | | | |
|---+------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+------------+---------+--------------|
| | | | | | |
| 21.8 | 2.58 | -0.6 |
When exporting to latex or html the columns Obligation and Balance, will
not be exported (the first one neither).
However his code does not work when exporting it to CSV
I tried the following code
(defun org-table-export-to-xlsx ()
(interactive)
(let* ((source-file (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name
(current-buffer))))
(csv-file (concat source-file ".csv")))
(save-excursion
(f-ox-filter-table-column-del nil))
(org-table-export csv-file "orgtbl-to-csv")
(org-odt-convert csv-file "xlsx")))
But all columns are exported.
Does somebody have an idea?
Thanks and regards
