How to exclude an appendix table from list of table?

Question

I have a table in Appendix. It also shows in list of tables. How can I remove it?

I tried the following but it didn't do anything.

\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

.

.

\appendix

\captionsetup{list=no}

\end{document}

Answer 1

if the document class you use includes all captions (or all *'ed titles) in the contents, you can manually put a line in the appropriate contents list to suppress it.

here's what has been devised for use with the ams document classes. add a definition in the preamble:

\DeclareRobustCommand{\SkipTocEntry}[4]{}

(if you're using hyperref, change the 4 to 5 -- different number of arguments.)

then, just before the command that will write to the toc file (or lot or lof) the line that you don't want, insert the instruction to suppress it:

\addtocontents{toc}{\SkipTocEntry}

i'm not sure that this has actually been used inside a float, but it's worth a try.

in the ams author-faq, there's an entry that covers this in somewhat more detail, although it's written from the point of view of chapter and section headings. go to the faq and search for "omit". the title of the relevant entry is "How can I omit or change a heading in the table of contents?"; click on it to expand the text. here is a more compact way of reaching this answer; look for the red box surrounding the item.

when i have access once more to a working system, i'll try this with figure and table captions, and update the faq as appropriate.
