I'm new to Latex and I've got two very large sideways tables.
I want to put them into one page and used the minipage environment.
But the result is way too large for the page and now I'm a bit frustrated 🙂
I tried it with the solution to this question but the result is nearly the same.
Two sideways tables on one page
Below my code. What I'm I doing wrong?
I would be thankful for any help.
Cheers,
Silvano

Given that each
tabularenvironment has 31 [!] columns, I see no way how they might be made to fit side-by-side on a page, unless you're willing to go with a microscopic font size and thereby assure that they'll be unreadable unless the reader happens to have a magnifying glass.Even if one sets the font size to
\tiny, for a 50% linear reduction from\normalsize, and sets the parameter\tabcolsepto1.75pt(default value: 6pt), one can barely make onetabularfit, assuming A4 for the paper size and margins of 2.5cm. Thus, the tables must be placed one above the other.By the way, it's better to set the relative font size to
\tinythan to employ the\resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{...}method to make the table fit inside the textblock. By choosing\tiny, one gets glyphs that are optimized for readability at5pt; in contrast, the\resizeboxapproach will give you linearly-reduced normal-shaped glyphs, which aren't meant to be read at5ptsizes.Oh, and since it would be appear to be important to align the numbers on their respective decimal markers, do use a package such as
dcolumnto achieve this type of alignment, instead of thecalignment.
