I'm unable to keep my table on the page, not sure how to fix it. Help appreciated.

Here is my table:

\begin{landscape} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \multicolumn{7}{c}{\textbf{Data from testing}}\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Population information}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Anaerobic power data}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Anaerobic endurance data}\\ \hline \multirow{2}{*}{Participant number, age, and weight}&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&\multirow{2}{*}{Broad jump (m)}&\multirow{2}{*}{500m row (minutes:seconds)}&Air bike 50 cal (seconds)\\ \cline{3-4} &&kg&\%bw&&&\\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{Trained sprinter}\\ \hline 1.

You can use p-type columns (or X-type with tabularx). Or just split long cell contents on multiple lines. In addition, I suggest to use booktabs to prettify your tabular; use caption to add the title.

\documentclass{report} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{pdflscape} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{landscape} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \multicolumn{7}{c}{\textbf{Data from testing}}\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Population information}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Anaerobic power data}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Anaerobic endurance data}\\ \hline % \multirow{2}{*}{Participant number, age, and weight}&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&\multirow{2}{*}{Broad jump (m)}&\multicolumn{1}{m{2cm}|}{{500m row\par(minutes:seconds)}}&Air bike 50 cal (seconds)\\ Participant number&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&Broad jump&500m row&Air bike 50 cal \\ \cline{3-4} age, and weight&&kg&\%bw&(m)&(minutes:seconds)&(seconds)\\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{Trained sprinter}\\ \hline 1.

  • Maybe you can have a look at the spreadtab package to play with some spreadsheet functionalities. Commented May 9, 2022 at 9:36
  • Thanks heaps, that's exactly what I wanted! Commented May 9, 2022 at 9:39

I propose a solution with the makecell & geometry packages (the latter to have more decent margins, if you don't use marginal notes). I added some improvements as regards the vertical spacing in table, with the cellspace package:

 \documentclass{article} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage{multirow, array} \usepackage{lscape} \usepackage{makecell} \usepackage{cellspace} \setlength{\cellspacetoplimit}{4pt} \setlength{\cellspacebottomlimit}{4pt} \begin{document} \begin{landscape} \centering \begin{tabular}{|*{7}{Sc|}} \multicolumn{7}{Sc}{\textbf{Data from testing}}\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|Sc|}{Population information}&\multicolumn{3}{Sc|}{Anaerobic power data}&\multicolumn{2}{Sc|}{Anaerobic endurance data}\\ \hline \multirowcell{2}{Participant number,\\ age and weight}&\multirow{2}{*}{Status}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Power clean}&\multirowcell{2}{Broad jump \\ (m)}&\multirowcell{2}{500m row\\ (minutes:seconds)}& \makecell{Air bike \\ 50 cal \\(seconds)}\\ \cline{3-4} &&kg&\%bw&&&\\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|Sc|}{Trained sprinter}\\ \hline 1. Male, 24, 72 kg.& \makecell{National level sprinter\\– 100m} &130&1.8&2.1&1:34&7\\ \hline 2. Male, 22, 75 kg.& \makecell{National level sprinter\\– 200m}&105&1.4&2.2&1:32&7\\ \hline 3.
