I'm trying to fit this table to the width of the page, however, whenever I try to change the header width with the command {p{}} it doesn't adjust the width of the three main headers Population, Associations and Gymnasts.

Is there any way to adjust the table width so that it fits the page (it wouldn't be a tragedy if it exceeds the text width, but it should be fully visible)?

Furthermore, how can I increase the margin of the headers in the second row to the top (at present the headers are to close to the top \hline)?

  • why have you specified R for the first column but then over-ridden that specification with a \multicolumn entry in every cell? That is likely to confuse tabulary quite a bit... Commented Jan 5, 2015 at 22:12
  • I wrote the table with tabular and then found out that tabulary is better suited for this kind of table and therefore switched over to tabulary in the belief that it would work. Commented Jan 5, 2015 at 22:26
  • but with tabular the same comment applies, using \multicolumn in every cell in a column is never useful Commented Jan 5, 2015 at 22:41
  • The example produces the error message ! Undefined control sequence. l.40 \captionsetup Commented Jan 5, 2015 at 22:43

tabulary isn't really suited to numeric data, better to use tabular for this kind of table.
