I'm trying to define the label of my table to match with the numbering of the section. Note that I also numbered my chapters and sections manually. So instead of Tabelle 1 I need Tabelle 2.1 Any one can help? 

\chapter*{Kapitel 2} 
\section*{bla bla bla} 
\subsection*{bla blu bli}



\begin{table}[htbp]
 \centering
 \caption{Zusammensetzungen einiger SX-Nickelbasislegierungen in wt\%.}

  \begin{tabular}{c d{2.1} d{2.1} d{2.1} d{1.1} d{1.1} d{1.2} d{1.1} d{1.1} d{1.1} d{1.1} d{1.0} d{1.2}}

    You can use the caption package \caption* which stops automatic numbering but why do \chapter*{Kapitel 2} it is so wrong and really defeats much of what LaTeX is trying to do. – David Carlisle May 21 '13 at 19:35
  • @DavidCarlisle I know but as you see, I need 3 things when beginning with a new chapter. The number of the chapter so this would be Chapter 1 (German: Kapitel 1) then the subsection is actually the title of the chapter and the subsection comes as a first section in the chapter. The automatic numbering is somehow weird I think. – abdu May 21 '13 at 19:39
  • take a look at this one link – vveliev May 21 '13 at 19:41
  • @vveliev I think I'll just use \caption*. The thing is I'm using LaTeX for the first time, so I'll try to learn more about captions the tables next time I do a new scientific report, but for now I will try to cope with the things I know =) – abdu May 21 '13 at 19:48

    @abdu you are using the heading commands incorrectly which if you use subsection as the chapter title, which is why the resulting numbering is inappropriate – David Carlisle May 21 '13 at 19:49
  • @DavidCarlisle I edited my question and added a screenshot of my report document. As you see for the title of the chapter I need no numbering. So just the Chapter, its title and then the sections under it. – abdu May 21 '13 at 19:55
  • @abdu the markup for that should be \chapter{Begreiffs..GrundLagen}\section{Superl...Entwicklung} Then numbering cross referencing and everything else will be automatic. The style definition for \Chapter should write Kapitel 2 (or whatever other number is needed above the title.) – David Carlisle May 21 '13 at 20:15
  • Rememeber to link back to the original question. Some 'home made' commands are created there -- people can't compile the code, even if you include a document class and packages. – Svend Tveskæg May 21 '13 at 20:26
  • @SvendTveskæg ok how can I do so? – abdu May 21 '13 at 20:42
  • Update your answer and give a link... – Svend Tveskæg May 21 '13 at 20:53

The heading style you show is the default layout in book class so there is no need for manual numbering at all.

enter image description here

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[german]{babel}

\begin{document}

\chapter{something}
\section{blah blah}

xxx

\end{document}

  • Well I think I'm using the report class and try to change it to look like the book class. Thanks this worked too. I think I used too many packages which made problems when combined to the book class. But one thing is annoying, the headline. Can I somehow make it underlined and remove the italic effect? – abdu May 21 '13 at 20:42
  • @abdu fancyhdr package gives easy customisation of the fonts in the headline and whether there is a rule, but best to ask new questions rather than ask followup questions in comments – David Carlisle May 21 '13 at 20:55

Strange, but if you wish:

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Kapitel 2} 
\section*{bla bla bla} 
\subsection*{bla blu bli}

\def\thetable{\thechapter.\arabic{table}} %PS

\setcounter{chapter}{2} %PS


\begin{table}[htbp]
 \centering
(Meaningless) % tabular removed -- PS
 \caption{Zusammensetzungen einiger SX-Nickelbasislegierungen in wt\%.}

 \label{tbl:1}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Here it is named Table, but in your language version it should be Tabelle.
