As far I know the longtable package allow to split a long table in multiple page. The problem is that my table is both long and large. I have 35 rows and 40 columns. How to split this table on multiples pages ?

Assuming that the package split at every 5 columns I should get a header for the first page : "Serie - Model1 - Model2 - Model3 - Model4 " and for the next page, the header should be similar to : "Serie - Model5 - Model6 - Model7 - Model8 "

For illustration purpose please find below my table with only the first 5 rows :

\begin{tabular}{rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr}
\toprule
 Serie & Model1 & Model2 & Model3 & Model4 & Model5 & Model6 & Model7 & Model8 & Model9 & Model10 & Model11 & Model12 & Model13 & Model14 & Model15 & Model16 & Model17 & Model18 & Model19 & Model20 & Model21 & Model22 & Model23 & Model24 & Model25 & Model26 & Model27 & Model28 & Model29 & Model30 & Model31 & Model32 & Model33 & Model34 & Model35 & Model36 & Model37 & Model38 & Model39 & Model40 \\

(Ps : I can flip the matrix but the problem is the same with 40 columns and 35 rows..)

  • A simple solution would be to use A2 paper… :o)

  • I'm thinking about a solution, but longtable doesn't manage wide tables (I don't know any package doing that). I guess you'll have to split it into two or three tables (that you might number like table 1a, table 1b, &c.

    anything's possible but I may not have time, no harm in adding to the question though, someone may answer. But to be honest I wouldn't do this. think of the reader, the chance that they can navigate a table that's rotated and automatically split on row and column boundaries into arbitrary page sized chunks is essentially nil. Compared to the work required to implement a programatic solution, the work required to refactor the table into smaller chunks based on semantically meaningful divisions that you can choose with subject knowledge is likely to be less and make a better result.

Based on David Carlisle comment and its answer in another post (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/93810/44284) I succeed, the code is given below.

However, I finally follow David recommendation "to refactor the table into smaller chunks based on semantically meaningful divisions", it seems more appropriate.
