can you write a little code block that filters the table for what you want, and then convert that to a pdf?
Something like: #+tblname: data | 1 | a | | 2 | r | | 5 | 7 | | 4 | 9 | | 8 | y | #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var d=data (orgtbl-to-csv (-filter (lambda (x) (and (> (car x) 2) (< (car x) 8))) d) nil) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : 5,7 : 4,9 or, rows 0, 1 and 4. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var d=data (loop for i in '(0 1 4) collect (elt d i)) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: | 1 | a | | 2 | r | | 8 | y | Uwe Brauer writes: > Hi > > Is it possible to extract just say two regions from a huge table and > convert it to say CSV? > > Uwe Brauer -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
