Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Sideways table - normal footnotes

[RikRaccoon]

Hello,
I have a sidewaystable using the rotating package and I'd like to add a footnote to the table. For various space-related reasons, I'd like the footnote to be at the bottom of the table, not the side. Is this possible?

Example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document} 
\begin{sidewaystable}[hbt]
\begin{tabular}[c]{c|ccc}
\hline
A & B & C & D \\
E & F & G & I \footnote{I don't like H} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}

What you want to do is typographical nonsense. With everything that you do you should keep the reader in mind and what he would think when looking at your document. Furthermore tables do not have footnotes, but table notes. You can add some notes to your table by the threeparttable package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{booktabs,threeparttable}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaystable}
    \centering
    \begin{threeparttable}
      \caption{A table with table notes}\label{tab:tablenotes}
      \begin{tabular}{*5{c}}\toprule
        Table Head & Table Head & Table Head & Table Head & Table Head \\ \midrule
        Some Values\tnote{1} & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values \\
        Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values\tnote{2} \\
        Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values \\
        Some Values & Some Values & Some Values\tnote{3} & Some Values & Some Values \\
        Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values & Some Values \\ \bottomrule
      \end{tabular}
      \begin{tablenotes}
        \footnotesize
        \item[1] First table note
        \item[2] Second table note
        \item[3] Third table note
      \end{tablenotes}
    \end{threeparttable}
  \end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}

Refer to the manuals of the involved packages to learn what they are for.
