Could you not just filter or facet and then star those filtered or faceted rows 
?  or is this a case were it is more painful to filter/facet because of the 
particular data ?

right -- the situation is that there are metadata rows at arbitrary locations 
in the table which indicate that all subsequent currency values are in GBP 
rather than USD; however,  neither the preceding nor the subsequent rows 
contain data values that are unique to GBP/USD (ideally, the original column 
would have had GBP or USD for each row, but that is the problem I am fixing).

You could create a text facet on any column with this expression

row.index >= n

where n is the current row's index. And then select true in the face. And star 
all matching rows. I just realize that row.index might be zero-based, but row 
indexes are displayed as one-based.
