Here is my Tex file

Code: Select all

\documentclass[9pt]{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{csvsimple}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf,labelsep=period,font={small,sf,bf}]{caption}

\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{logo}\par\vspace{1cm}
        {\scshape\LARGE \textsf{TEST} \par}
        \vspace{1cm}
        {\scshape\LARGE \textsf{TESTING RESULT} \par}
        \vspace{1.5cm}
        {\scshape\LARGE \textsf{Version: \today}}

\end{titlepage}

\begin{longtable}{|p{3cm}|p{2.5cm}|c|c|} 
        \hline
        \textbf{\textsf{column1}} & \textbf{\textsf{column2}} & \textbf{\textsf{column3}} & \textbf{\textsf{column4}} \\\hline
    \endfirsthead
    \hline
   \textbf{\textsf{column1}} & \textbf{\textsf{column2}} & \textbf{\textsf{column3}} & \textbf{\textsf{column4}}  \\\hline
    \endfoot
    \endlastfoot
    \csvreader[
                before reading={\catcode`\_=11},
                after reading={\catcode`\_=8},
                late after line=\\\hline
    ]{output.csv}{}{\csvlinetotablerow}
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

You defined a table with 4 columns here:

Code: Select all

\begin{longtable}{|p{3cm}|p{2.5cm}|c|c|} 

However, in the table you use 6 columns:

Code: Select all

\textbf{\textsf{column1}} & \textbf{\textsf{column2}} & \textbf{\textsf{column3}} & \textbf{\textsf{column4}}
    & \textbf{\textsf{column5}} & \textbf{\textsf{column6}} \\\hline

This causes an error.

Yes In total there were four columns. But I have the problem with first column

[ls440]

I am not sure where the problem is

There are several problems with your code. First of all only package graphics is loaded implicitly, but you are using the syntax of package graphicx, so you should load it explicitly. Then you are using an external logo image, which we do not have. So the example is not working. Easiest solution for this issue could be to remove the titlepage environment, because it should be irrelevant for your problem.

However the main problem: You are using an external file output.csv, which we do not have. So we cannot test your example, cannot see the problem and cannot help you. See also my signature for more information on how to make a minimal working example.

BTW: Class article does not know an option 9pt only 10pt (default), 11pt, and 12pt.

PS: If you post your question also to other forums, please always add links to all crossposts.

Hi how can we autofit the characters to a particular column. ? Because i have problems with only one of the first column. Is there a way ?

[MjK]

What do you mean with “autofit the characters to a particular column”? Sorry, currently your question and your problem is completely unclear. And because I'm not willing in discussing how to ask questions over several forums, I'm out here. See my replies and signatures in both forums, I've found your question. And also see Stefan's questions above. Without a better description of your problem, I cannot help you any more.
