Creating a multicoumn table in landscape mode with bulletpoints

Post by Hippity_Hoppitus »

Dear everyone

I am trying to compile a table (containing many words and bulletpoints) for my thesis. I want to rotate this table so that it can be viewed in landscape mode. Unfortunately, I am unable to add any items (bulletpoints) despite trying \itemize and \enumerate. I have tried several suggestions, but all the examples I have been shown all have only three columns, whereas my table has 4 columns, and being new to Latex, am not sure how to approach this. Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated. I have attached my code and also the table (compiled in Word) to give a view what I want my table to look like. Thank you so much.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable}
\begin{center}
    \caption{Major Enhanced Oil Recovery Processes }
    \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
    \hline &&\\
    \textbf{Process} &
    \textbf{Description} &
    \textbf{Advantages} &
    \textbf{Disadvantages}\\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{CSI}
    & 1 
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{SAGD}
    & 1
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{CO$_2$}
    & 1
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{N$_2$}
    & 1
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{Surfactant}
    & 1
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    &&\\
    \textbf{Alkaline}
    & 1
    & 2
    & 3
    \\
    &&\\
    \hline
    \end{tabular}
\end{center}

\end{sidewaystable}

\end{document}

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
