[Tex/LaTex] Example for longtable package use

longtable

I am trying to use the longtable package:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \centering
    \caption{$\chi^2$ - Test of UDP Packet Size Sample Measurements}
    \hline
    \textbf{Bin Interval Lower Bound} & \textbf{Bin Interval Upper Bound} & \textbf{Histogram Count} & \textbf{Expected Count} & \textbf{Cumulative Distribution} & \textbf{$\chi^2$ - Value}
    \hline
    \endfirsthead
    \multicolumn{6}{c}
    {\tablename\ \thetable\ -- \textit{Continued from previous page}} \\
    \hline
    \textbf{Bin Interval Lower Bound} & \textbf{Bin Interval Upper Bound} & \textbf{Histogram Count} & \textbf{Expected Count} & \textbf{Cumulative Distribution} & \textbf{$\chi^2$ - Value}
    \hline
    \endhead
    \hline \multicolumn{6}{r}{\textit{Continued on next page}} \\
    \endfoot
    \hline
    \endlastfoot

        1000  & 1003,99 & 102   & 100   & 102   & 0,04 \\
        1004  & 1007,99 & 105   & 100   & 207   & 0,25 \\
        1008  & 1011,99 & 104   & 100   & 311   & 0,16 \\
        1012  & 1015,99 & 104   & 100   & 415   & 0,16 \\

\label{Table1}
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

Unfortunately this isn't working. TeXstudio throws some errors such as "Misplaces \omit. \endhead"

Can anyone see what might be the cause of this issue?

Best Answer

Anyway, this table can't fit between margins of a normal paper size. One has to rotate the column heads. Does this code compile normally for you?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{makecell}
\renewcommand{\theadfont}{\normalsize\boldmath\bfseries}
\settowidth{\rotheadsize}{\bfseries Upper Bound}
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
 \caption{$\chi^2$-Test of UDP Packet Size Sample Measurements}
\label{Table1}\\
    \hline
    \rothead{Bin Interval\\ Lower Bound} & \rothead{Bin Interval\\ Upper Bound} & \rothead{Histogram\\ Count} & \rothead{Expected\\ Count} & \rothead{Cumulative\\ Distribution} & \rothead{$\chi^2$-Value} \\
    \hline
    \endfirsthead
    \multicolumn{6}{c}
    {\tablename\ \thetable\ -- \textit{Continued from previous page}} \\
    \hline
    \rothead{Bin Interval\\ Lower Bound} & \rothead{Bin Interval\\ Upper Bound} & \rothead{Histogram\\ Count} & \rothead{Expected\\ Count} & \rothead{Cumulative\\ Distribution} & \rothead{$\chi^2$-Value} \\
    \hline
    \endhead
    \hline \multicolumn{6}{r}{\textit{Continued on next page}} \\
    \endfoot
    \hline
    \endlastfoot
        1000 & 1003,99 & 102 & 100 & 102 & 0,04 \\
        1004 & 1007,99 & 105 & 100 & 207 & 0,25 \\
        1008 & 1011,99 & 104 & 100 & 311 & 0,16 \\
        1012 & 1015,99 & 104 & 100 & 415 & 0,16 \\
\end{longtable}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] longtable example+error:Package longtable Error: Column widths have changed in table

It's not an error. Compile again until the problem goes away: longtable uses previous runs to adjust the column width in order to get them the same size on all pages.

If you load the package longtable with the option pausing, the informative message is indeed changed into an error; omit that option, in case you're using it.

[Tex/LaTex] ‘longtable’ and ‘booktabs’ not working on this example

By placing the longtable in a float you're preventing it from breaking across pages. In addition, I believe that longtables are centered by default, so you don't need \centering. To let longtable do its job, just remove the \begin{table} and \end{table} pair (and the \centering command):
