Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ About numbering of tables

[Brijeshsingh872]

I have problem in table numbering. It shows odd numberings only in the place of all numberings. Please solve my problem.

We would need a minimal working example in order to help you.
With the information given, I cannot even guess.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

Without seeing your code, it hardly can be said what causes it. Under all normal circumstances the numbering is in sequential order. What do you think is different in your code? It's always good to provide code. Most of the times we can see the cause in the code.

Here is a guess: when one uses longtable within a table environment, the counter increases by 2 each time since both do numbering.

This would be wrong:

Code: Select all

\begin{table}
\begin{longtable}
...
\end{longtable}
\caption{...}
\end{table}

In such cases just use

Code: Select all

\begin{longtable}
...
\end{longtable}

I have used these codes, in which I have problem in table numberings.

You have to give the caption inside the longtable environment.
You should also remove the center environment, as longtables are centered by default.

I have used the code \caption{XYZ.....} Just before the \end{longtable}, the caption goes to below the table.
But my requirement is caption must be above the table.

Please suggest me.

[Johannes_B]

Write caption after \begin{longtable} line.

On smartphone, cannot post an example, sorry.
