[Tex/LaTex] How to rotate a table with caption and have a section name in the same page

captionsfloatsrotatingsectioning

I need to rotate a table with caption, but I need to have a section name in top of the same page.

Already tried with sidewaystable, but it reserves a entire page only for the table.

Then I've tried using sideways, but the caption didn't work with that.

I've also tried using rotatebox, but I couldn't make it work…

Tried: ctable, landscape …

No success at all…

You can use the hvfloat package; a little example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hvfloat}

\begin{document}

\section{Test Section}

\hvFloat[rotAngle=90,nonFloat]%
{}%
{\begin{tabular}{ll}
column 1a & column 2a \\
column 1b & column 2b \\
column 1c & column 2c \\
\end{tabular}}%
{A rotated table}%
{fig:test}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to rotate landscape table page in PDF

To make the table fit your landscape, put this in your preamble:

\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{pdflscape}

And for your landscape page, do this:

\newgeometry{margin=1cm} % modify this if you need even more space
\begin{landscape}

%put your table here

\end{landscape}
\restoregeometry

If you are working in a document that makes use of fancyhdr, you might want to put \thispagestyle{empty} on your landscape page so that you can make use of the space normally occupied by the header/footer. (and it looks cleaner in my opinion)

[Tex/LaTex] Rotate table with caption on the same page

You table is quite large and will imho take up a page anyway, so sidewaystable is probably the best solution. But you can also put the tabular and the caption in a minipage or a varwidth box and rotate this:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[graphicx]{realboxes}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\begin{document}
%% what i want
\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
 \rotatebox{90}{%
   \begin{varwidth}{\textheight}
      \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c||c|c|c|c|c||c|c|c|c|c|}
       \hline
        \bfseries Some text & \rotatebox{90}{column 1  } &  \rotatebox{90}{column 2} & \rotatebox{90}{column 3  } & \rotatebox{90}{column 4 } & \rotatebox{90}{column 5 }  & \rotatebox{90}{column 6  } &  \rotatebox{90}{column 7} & \rotatebox{90}{column 8 } & \rotatebox{90}{column 9 } & \rotatebox{90}{column 10 } & \rotatebox{90}{column 11 } &  \rotatebox{90}{column 12} & \rotatebox{90}{column 13 } & \rotatebox{90}{column 14  } & \rotatebox{90}{column 15 }\\
         \hline \hline
        first row lorem ipsum & 692 & 535 & 85 & 48 & 24 & 692 & 535 & 85 & 48 & 24 & 2 & 3 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\            \hline
       \end{tabular}
        \caption{My caption lorem ipsum}\label{tab_b}
    \end{varwidth}}
\end{table}


For the table see \ref{tab_b}

\end{document}

N.B: Don't use \bf, use \bfseries instead.
