In this tutorial we're going to learn how to use the table and tabular environments to create tables in LaTeX. At offset we're going to create a uncomplicated table like this:

$table-1.png$

After showing you how to modify this table according to your needs, I will also show you how to brand your tables prettier and turn the table above into this:

$table-8.png$

Of course it'southward up to your personal preference, simply most of the time, I've found that the 2d tabular array is much more readable and easier on the eye than the first table.

Afterwards I'thou likewise going to show you lot, how to do some more elaborate things such as having rows and colums spend multiple cells too as orienting tables sideways on the page (useful for tables with many columns) and how to accept tables span multiple pages (useful for tables with many rows).

I've also created a tool to edit LaTeX tables right in your browser. This characteristic is still experimental, but if you desire to try it, y'all can observe it here. I capeesh whatever feedback, so I tin can create a tool that you love using.

Your showtime table

Tables in LaTeX tin can be created through a combination of the table environs and the tabular environs. The tabular array environment part contains the caption and defines the float for our table, i.due east. where in our certificate the table should be positioned and whether we want it to be displayed centered. The \caption and \label commands can exist used in the same way every bit for pictures. The actual content of the tabular array is contained within the tabular surroundings.

The tabular environment uses ampersands & as cavalcade seperators and newline symbols \\ as row seperators. The vertical lines separating the columns of our tabular array (|) are passed as an argument to the tabular environment (e.thou.\begin{tabular}{50|c|r} ) and the letters tell whether we desire to align the content to the left (l), to the eye (c) or to the right (r) for each column. There should be one alphabetic character for every column and a vertical line in between them or in front of them, if nosotros desire a vertical line to be shown in the table. Row seperators can be added with the \hline command.

Now allow's take a look at some actual code for a basic table, which you can easily copy-and-paste into your document and modify it to your needs.

\documentclass{article}  \brainstorm{certificate}  \begin{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{Your first table.}     \label{tab:table1}     \brainstorm{tabular}{50|c|r} % <-- Alignments: 1st column left, 2d eye and 3rd right, with vertical lines in between       \textbf{Value one} & \textbf{Value ii} & \textbf{Value 3}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       1 & 1110.1 & a\\       ii & 10.1 & b\\       3 & 23.113231 & c\\     \end{tabular}   \end{center} \finish{tabular array}  \end{document}

The above lawmaking will print out the table which I've already shown you in the introduction and it looks like this:

$table-1.png$

While this table already works, it'due south not very satisfying and readable that the numbers in the center column are not aligned at the decimal point. Fortunately, we don't have to add together spacing somehow manually, merely we tin use the siunitx packet for this purpose.

Align numbers at decimal point

The outset matter we accept to do is to include the siunitx parcel in our preamble and use the control \sisetup to tell the parcel how many digital places information technology should display:

%...  \usepackage{siunitx} % Required for alignment  \sisetup{   round-fashion          = places, % Rounds numbers   circular-precision     = 2, % to two places }  \begin{document}   %...

Later on nosotros can use a new alignment setting in our tables, so besides left (l), heart (c) and right (r), in that location's at present an additional setting Due south, which will align the numbers automatically. In our previous tabular array, in that location was an alignment trouble with the middle column, and so I've now changed the alignment setting of the middle column from (c) to (S):

%...  \brainstorm{table}[h!]   \begin{middle}     \explanation{Table with aligned units.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{50|S|r} % <-- Inverse to S here.       \textbf{Value 1} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value iii}\\       $\blastoff$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       1 & 1110.1 & a\\       2 & 10.1 & b\\       3 & 23.113231 & c\\     \end{tabular}   \end{heart} \end{table}  %...

We tin can now find, that LaTeX will at present properly marshal the numbers at their decimal points and round the numbers to ii decimal places:

$table-2.png$

Adding rows and columns

Now that we've setup our table properly, we can focus on calculation more rows and columns. As I've mentioned earlier, LaTeX uses cavalcade separators (&) and row separators (\\) to layout the cells of our table. For the 5×three table shown above nosotros can count five times (\\) behind each row and 2 times (&) per row, separating the content of iii columns.

If we now want to add an boosted column, information technology'due south as unproblematic every bit copy and pasting the previous column and changing the contents. I will exist reusing the table from above for this example and add an additional cavalcade:

%...  \begin{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{More rows.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{50|S|r}       \textbf{Value 1} & \textbf{Value ii} & \textbf{Value 3}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       1 & 1110.1 & a\\       2 & 10.1 & b\\       3 & 23.113231 & c\\       4 & 25.113231 & d\\ % <-- added row here     \end{tabular}   \end{center} \terminate{tabular array}  %...

This will generate the following output:

$table-3.png$

Adding an additional cavalcade is also possible, but you take to be careful, considering yous have to add a column separator (&) to every cavalcade:

%...  \begin{tabular array}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{More than columns.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{50|Due south|r|l}       \textbf{Value one} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value 3} & \textbf{Value 4}\\ % <-- added & and content for each cavalcade       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ & $\delta$ \\ % <--       \hline       1 & 1110.1 & a & east\\ % <--       two & 10.1 & b & f\\ % <--       3 & 23.113231 & c & g\\ % <--     \cease{tabular}   \end{center} \terminate{table}  %...

We will now run into an additional column in our output:

$table-4.png$

Cells spanning multiple rows or multiple columns

Using multirow
Using multicolumn
Combining multirow and multicolumn

Sometimes it's necessary to make a row span several cells. For this purpose we tin can utilize the multirow package, and so the first matter we're going to do is adding the required packet to our preamble:

%...  \usepackage{multirow} % Required for multirows  \begin{certificate}   %...

We tin now utilise multirow and multicolumn environments, which allow us to conveniently span multiple rows or columns.

Using multirow

In order for a cell to span multiple rows, we have to use the multirow control. This control accepts three parameters:

\multirow{NUMBER_OF_ROWS}{WIDTH}{CONTENT}

I usually utilize an asterisk (*) as a parameter for the width, since this basically means, that the width should be determined automatically.

Because we're combining 2 rows in our instance, it's necessary to omit the content of the same row in the following line. Let's wait at how the actual LaTeX code would wait similar:

%...  \begin{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{Multirow table.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{50|Southward|r}       \textbf{Value one} & \textbf{Value two} & \textbf{Value 3}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       \multirow{ii}{*}{12} & 1110.1 & a\\ % <-- Combining 2 rows with arbitrary with (*) and content 12       & 10.one & b\\ % <-- Content of offset cavalcade omitted.       \hline       iii & 23.113231 & c\\       4 & 25.113231 & d\\     \terminate{tabular}   \finish{center} \end{table}  %...

The modified table looks similar this:

$table-5.png$

You can now encounter, that the cell containing 12 spans two rows.

Using multicolumn

If we want a cell to bridge multiple columns, we have to use the multicolumn command. The usage differs a scrap from multirow command, since nosotros also have to specifiy the alignment for our column. The command also requires three parameters:

\multicolumn{NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS}{ALIGNMENT}{CONTENT}

In our case, we will again combine two neighboring cells, annotation that in the row where nosotros're using multicolumn to span two columns, there'south only ane cavalcade separator (&) (instead of two for all other rows):

%...  \brainstorm{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{Multicolumn table.}     \characterization{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{l|S|r}       \textbf{Value 1} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value 3}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       \multicolumn{2}{c|}{12} & a\\ % <-- Combining two cells with alignment c| and content 12.       \hline       2 & x.1 & b\\       3 & 23.113231 & c\\       4 & 25.113231 & d\\     \cease{tabular}   \terminate{eye} \end{tabular array}  %...

This will result in the following content:

$table-6.png$

Combining multirow and multicolumn

Of course it'due south also possible to combine the two features, to brand a cell spanning multiple rows and columns. To do this, we just apply the multicolumn command and instead of specifying content, nosotros add a multirow command as the content. We then have to add another multicolumn statement for as many rows as we're combining.

Because this is a little difficult to explain, it will be much clearer when looking at the code. In this example, nosotros're going to combine two columns and two rows, then we're getting a cell spanning a total of iv cells:

%...  \begin{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \explanation{Multirow and -column tabular array.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{l|S|r}       \textbf{Value ane} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value 3}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \hline       \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{1234}} & a\\ % <-- Multicolumn spanning two columns, content multirow spanning two rows       \multicolumn{2}{c|}{} & b\\ % <-- Multicolumn spanning 2 columns with empty content as placeholder       \hline       3 & 23.113231 & c\\       4 & 25.113231 & d\\     \end{tabular}   \end{center} \end{table}  %...

Our certificate will now incorporate a tabular array, with a huge cell:

$table-7.png$

Prettier tables with booktabs

Of course beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, just I personally think, that the default hlines used by the table environment are not very pretty. For my tables, i always utilise the booktabs package, which provides much prettier horizontal separators and the usage is not harder compared to simply using hlines.

Once more, we have to add the according booktabs parcel to our preamble:

%...  \usepackage{booktabs} % For prettier tables  \begin{certificate}   %...

Nosotros can now replace the hlines in our example tabular array with toprule, midrule and bottomrule provided past the booktabs package:

%...  \begin{table}[h!]   \begin{center}     \caption{Table using booktabs.}     \label{tab:table1}     \begin{tabular}{50|S|r}       \toprule % <-- Toprule hither       \textbf{Value 1} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value iii}\\       $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\       \midrule % <-- Midrule here       one & 1110.1 & a\\       two & 10.1 & b\\       3 & 23.113231 & c\\       \bottomrule % <-- Bottomrule here     \end{tabular}   \end{eye} \end{table}  %...

You tin can decide for yourself, if you prefer the hlines or the following output:

$table-8.png$

Multipage tables

If y'all have a lot of rows in your table, yous will detect that by default, the table will be cropped at the bottom of the page, which is certainly non what you want. The package longtable provides a convenient way, to make tables span multiple pages. Of course we have to add the package to our preamble earlier we can start using it:

%...  \usepackage{longtable} % To display tables on several pages  \brainstorm{document}   %...

It's actually not harder, but easier to apply than the previous code for tables. I will first testify you what the code looks like and than explicate the differences between longtable and tabular, in case they're not obvious.

%...  \begin{longtable}[c]{l|S|r} % <-- Replaces \begin{table}, alignment must be specified here (no more tabular)   \caption{Multipage table.}   \label{tab:table1}\\   \toprule   \textbf{Value i} & \textbf{Value ii} & \textbf{Value 3}\\   $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\   \midrule   \endfirsthead % <-- This denotes the end of the header, which will be shown on the start page only   \toprule   \textbf{Value ane} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value iii}\\   $\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\   \midrule   \endhead % <-- Everything betwixt \endfirsthead and \endhead will be shown as a header on every page   ane & 1110.1 & a\\   2 & x.1 & b\\   % ...   % ... Many rows in between   % ...   three & 23.113231 & c\\   \bottomrule \end{longtable}  %...

In the previous examples, we've e'er used the table and tabular environments. The longtable environment replaces both of them or rather combines both of them into a single environment. We at present apply \brainstorm{longtable}[POSITION_ON_PAGE]{ALIGNMENT} every bit an surroundings for our tables. Using this environment, we create a table, that is automatically dissever between pages, if it has also many rows.

The content on the table on the offset page looks like this:

$table-9a.png$

Imagine that this table has many rows (…) beingness a placeholder for more rows and that the tabular array continues the following folio like this:

$table-9b.png$

Note that at that place's again a header on this folio, but without the caption. This is because I've added the commands \endfirsthead and \endhead to my tabular array, where everything written before \endfirsthead declares the header for the first page the table occurs on and everything betwixt \endfirsthead and \endhead denotes the header, which should be repeated on every following folio. If you don't want a header on the following pages, you can simply remove everything in between \endfirsthead and \endhead including the \endhead command.

Landscape tables

At present that nosotros have a solution for as well many rows, we could also be facing the same problem if we had too many columns. If nosotros add too many columns, we might be getting a tabular array that's too broad for the page. In this state of affairs, it'south often best to simply rotate the table and impress it in sideways. While at that place are many different ways to rotate the table, the only that I've found to be satisfying was using the rotating package.

Start we include the required packet in our preamble:

%...  \usepackage{rotating} % To display tables in mural  \begin{certificate}   %...

This package provides the sidewaystable surround, which is very easy to use. Just replace the table environment with the sidewaystable environment like this:

%...  \begin{sidewaystable}[h!] % <--   \begin{center}   \caption{Mural table.}   \label{tab:table1}   \brainstorm{tabular}{l|S|r}   	\toprule   	\textbf{Value 1} & \textbf{Value 2} & \textbf{Value 3}\\   	$\alpha$ & $\beta$ & $\gamma$ \\     \midrule     1 & 1110.i & a\\     2 & 10.one & b\\     iii & 23.113231 & c\\     \bottomrule   \cease{tabular}   \stop{heart} \finish{sidewaystable}  %...

This will automatically rotate the table for usa, so information technology tin be read when flipping the page sideways:

$table-10.png$

Tables from Excel (.csv) to LaTeX

In that location are ii disadvantages of writing tables by hand as described in this tutorial. While information technology works for modest tables similar to the one in our example, it can have a long time to enter a large amount of information past hand. Most of the time the data will exist collected in grade of a spreadsheet and we don't want to enter the data twice. Furthermore once put into LaTeX tables, the data tin not exist plotted anymore and is non in a useful class in general. For this reason, the adjacent lesson shows you, how to generate tables from .csv files (which can exist exported from Excel and other tools) automatically.

Summary
