Dear all

About two years ago Joseph Wright kindly helped me get started with some code to read in a set of columns from a signle csv table and then have latex produce a table with two data rows on a single tabular row.

I wasn't able to finish the project using latex but now need to and have used ...

longtable and datatool

Dear group

I am using datatool to read in a table from a csv file which I can successfully accomplish.

However, the file is too long for one page and I would like to use the longtable package to make it carry over from one page to the other.

Re: Table Challenge

Thanks

Tried both the newer code and the original using WinEdt as the LaTex editor and MikTex 2.7 and both worked fine and except for the last col on the extreme right being cut-off little which I am sure can be sorted that's great.

I now need to see how to make it work in Lyx !!!

"Package datatool Warning: File `SampleDataSingleCol.csv' has no data on input l

Re: Table Challenge

Hi Joseph

Sorry but I am back again.

The attached file is the output that I get after running your code. I made the change to lab_id to labid as per your last post

No error messages but it seems clear to me that the \DTLloadrawdb{data} does not work as intended. I have the csv file in the same ...

Re: Table Challenge

Hi Joseph

Thanks fot the reply

Looking at the datatool manual, which is very comprehensive, I found the example with the split table. Unfortunatley it's very difficult with Latex to really track what all the functions do, so many thanks for spotting my request and putting two and two together.

Re: Table Challenge

Hi Joseph

Thanks for the reply and the interest.

I have attached a sample data file in single five col format.

If you have the time to try and get it into the format I need that would be great.

Table Challenge

Dear list

I currently have some R code which produces amongst other things a table with about 80 rows or more in 5 col.

Since this does not fit on an A4 page, I split the table in Excel and ...
