My supervisor requested I make three vertical tables into one horizontal / landscape table. The code for my tables (at least the formatting part) were rather complex and this is my first attempt at a landscape table. Unfortunately, I am bit a stuck, and I think I know where I am going wrong (the column widths etc), but I am not sure how to fix it. I give a mock up of my table below to understand what I'd like to get at:

  • You seem to have confused the table enviroment with tabular, and there are several packages missing from the MWE (array, ragged2e, siunitx, booktabs). – Torbjørn T. Sep 19 '15 at 13:03
  • And there's a custom column specification (C) missing. You seem to have taken the "minimal" concept a bit too far. – Torbjørn T. Sep 19 '15 at 13:06
  • Thanks. Will update MWE as far as possible. Also the other complication is all the vertical tables were longtables, so also needed to delete other bits of code. I'm hoping it can fit on one page - I know 13 columns is a lot. – The Statistician Magician Sep 19 '15 at 13:21
  • Environment tabular require specification of table width, i.e. instead \begin{tabular} content of table ... \end{tabular} it should be \begin{tabular*}{\hsize} ... content of table ... \end{tabular*}. Length \hsize you can replace with length of your choice. – Zarko Sep 19 '15 at 18:32

I would recommend replacing the rather long column headings (Graduated, Academically Excluded, Censored) with abbreviations (G, AE, C), and describing the key in the caption. Then you can easily fit all the columns in a landscape page.

There are a lot of other small changes here and there. Not sure I remember all, but:

  • New column specification. One p column followed by 12 S columns.
  • Removed some parenthesis from a couple of the numbers.
  • Removed some extra &, and also added some where required.
  • longtable is used. The table is too long to fit in a single page I think.
  • You had line breaks after each of the topmost column headings (Commerce, EBE etc.), those should be &.
  • Four separate cmidrules with some trimming, instead of one long.

Second option

By rewriting/shortening the entries in the first column and reducing the \tabcolsep you can actually squeeze the whole thing into one page in portrait mode. If the textblock in your actual document is wider than the default in article you will have more to go on, so you can make things wider than in the below code. (The frame in the screenshot comes from loading the showframe package, it's just there to demonstrate that the table is actually within the width of the textblock.)

  • Excellent - thanks. Nice idea with the portrait as well. I actually might put that instead of the landscape table. – The Statistician Magician Sep 20 '15 at 07:15
  • Hi @Tobjorn T - when I leave the out the '[H]' (as in \table [H]') so I can paste it there, this table does not fit on one page, but when I leave out the [H], it works perfectly. Also, when I leave out the [H], the table goes in the wrong place (about 2 pages down)...any ideas why this could be? Thanks – The Statistician Magician Sep 26 '15 at 10:50
  • @Chris table is a floating environment, meaning that LaTeX can move it around a bit to avoid bad page breaks. Using H you disable floating, so it will be placed exactly where it is in the code. The size of the table is the same whether you use H or not, so that shouldn't affect whether it fits in one page or not. – Torbjørn T. Sep 26 '15 at 13:01
  • I thought so too, but here's what I get without the [H] - works as intended: http://s4.postimg.org/fcnj5r055/Table_1.png ...then when I put in the [H], I get this: http://s4.postimg.org/r0hl0apa1/Table_2.png – The Statistician Magician Sep 27 '15 at 10:51
  • @Chris Impossible to say exactly without a complete minimal working example (MWE). There's clearly something influencing the line spacing in the second case, but I at least cannot guess. Try building an MWE (described in the link above), and if that does not make the problem and/or solution evident, post a new question including said MWE. – Torbjørn T. Sep 27 '15 at 12:02
