resize table to fit landscape page

TeX - LaTeX Asked by BRMBU on April 2, 2021

I was unable to fit the 2 data tables needed for my thesis in portrait mode and hence have put it in landscape mode but it is going beyond the page length. I have seen other posts on many latex pages but haven’t found a satisfactory answer that works.

I also tried using

usepackage{threeparttable}

and

setlengthtabcolsep{8.75pt}

within threeparttable. But it is not working.

The only other option that works is

tiny

but this reduces the table size considerable and it can’t be read.

MWE is given here

In general, I do not like tables to be in the text, data should be in an appendix and be referenced. Tables in text are always disturbing. In this case, as you have long data, I would not bother about table conventions and split the table lines.

Using tabular*, macro extracolsep{fill}, footnotesize for font size and larger textheight (if this is not possible, then you need smaller font size):
