[Tex/LaTex] Horizontal spacing

spacing

I want to do some horizontal spacing. I tried with \hspace{6cm} but it doesn't work, and I don't know why.

I also tried \\[.6cm] but since I want to make space between two tables, it doesn't work because it needs to be written after a line, and there is no line.

Is there any other way to make some space?

EDIT: It is very hard to make an small compilable example, that's why I didn't posted it. It is a really big document to extract an SCE from it. But I'm doing the table as it follows. Perhaps that's enough clue for you to help:

\leftskip-1.5cm\begin{tabular}{lr}
\toprule
Detalle      & Importe\\
\midrule
Adquisición de equipos y software  & 1574.17 \euro \\
Material inventariable &  182.45 \euro \\
Mano de obra &  8430.00 \euro TODO \\
Fungibles & TODO \euro \\                                                    
\textsc{Total} & \fbox{TODO \euro} \\
\bottomrule                
\end{tabular}

Problem appears then I use \hspace between 2 of these tabulars, or even between a tabular and a text line.

Best Answer

Without a compilable MWE that illustrates the problem, it is difficult to know what the exact issue is. But using \hspace between tables works are expected as the code below illustrates:

enter image description here

The geometry package below was used with the showframe option to show where the table is with respect to the margins.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\hspace*{1.0cm}% suppress spurious space that would otherwise gets inserted here
\begin{tabular}{|c c|}
  table 1 left & table 1 right
\end{tabular}
\hspace*{1.0cm}% suppress spurious space that would otherwise gets inserted here
\begin{tabular}{|c c|}
  table 2 left & table 2 right
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
