Thanks Thomas that works fine. Can you point me to where indexable
variables are documented, as my feeble search skills seem to be faiing.

Aloha Ian,
Will indexable variable values do what you want? Something like :var
data=monthly_total_mileage[0:-3,]?

I am using gnuplot to plot some data from a table:

#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=monthly_total_mileage :file
./monthly_total_mileage.png

set boxwidth 0.5
set xlabel 'month'
set ylabel 'distance, km'
plot data u 2:xticlabels(1) notitle with boxes fs solid 0.5
#+end_src
Ideally I want Babel to ignore the Totals row, so it doesn't get
processed and plotted by gnuplot. Is there any way of doing this? I want
to publish the data in several formats, some of which require me to
display the total and some of which don't.
Any other workarounds gratefully accepted.
Ian.
