Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Entries of large Table not aligned with Columns

[NELLLY]

Hi,

I have a large table, previously I posted on the forum about how to get a large table such that it doesn't exceed the width of the page. Inspired from the answer I used the following instructions.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{lipsum}  % dummy text

\begin{document}
  \lipsum[1]

  \begin{table}[ht]
    \makebox[\textwidth][c]{\footnotesize
      \begin{tabular}{@{}>{$}r<{$}@{}*{14}{S[table-format=-3]}@{}}
        \toprule
        &\multicolumn{6}{c}{Optimal design parameters}
        &\multicolumn{6}{c}{Statistical performance}\\
        \cmidrule(lr){2-7}\cmidrule(lr){8-13}       
        Run&{$n$}&{$WL$}&{$UCL$}&{$h_1$}&{$h_2$}&{$ETCU_s^*$}
        &{$ANSSC$}&{$ANOC$}&{$ANFA$}&{$ANSS$}&{$ANOS$}&{$ATS$}
        &{$\triangle C_{Fp}$}&{$\triangle C_{VSS}$}\\
        \midrule
        $1$    &14&0&2&5.58&0.01&1.49&275.01&3850.18&2.11&3.21&44.50&4.98&13.87\%&3.25\%\\\bottomrule[1.2pt]
      \end{tabular}
    }
    \caption{Caption}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

In the output, the numbers are not aligned with the column labels. What should I do?

You have to give the digits format explicitly for every S column type. These specifications are based on the table row you posted and might need to be corrected if digits with other formats occur later in a column.

      \end{tabular}%
    }
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Remarks:

• Tables have their captions above.

What should I add? Also I need the values to be centered. Thanks

[…] I adopted it also for my second table but this time it exceeds a little bit the width of the page. […]

It's not the table that exceeds the page, it's the content of certain cells that causes the warnings. You didn't work thoroughly when adjusting table-format for the S columns.

Remarks:

• It can't do any harm to format already the source accordingly in order to stay on top of things (see code). (La)TeX doesn't care about the format of the source. But it helps you for better readability.
• It seems better to rotate such tables by the rotating package and place them on their own page by the sidewaystable environment.

Many thanks, it works perfectly now.
