Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Splitting a table that is too wide for the page

[jimdare]

Dear LaTeX users,

I have created a program to re-organise a data set into time-series tables for each unit (species). Depending on how many sub-units (stocks) each unit has, determines the width of the table, which is often too wide to fit on an A4 page. I would like to split these wide tables at a certain point (e.g after 9 columns) and continue the table below (see attachment). Someone suggested using longtable and landscape to do this but I can't figure out how. Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
James

Instead of splitting the tables you could turn them by using the sidewaystable environment from the rotating package.

Thanks for the reply. The tables are for an annual publication that has a set code of formatting regulations. I could easily turn the tables sideways but we would probably get complaints from our patrons. It would be much better if I could figure out a way to split the table.

In this case I see splitting into two separate tables as the only solution.

The ideas shown in this old thread perhaps may help.
