# Spacing between table and caption

Hi when producing this table, there's a huge gap between the caption and the table. Any way I can remove this?

\begin{table}[H]
{
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ c c c c c c }
\textbf{\textit{Source}} & \textbf{\textit{DF}}&\textbf{\textit{SS}}&   \textbf{\textit{MS}} & \textbf{\textit{F-Value}} & \textbf{\textit{Pr  \textgreater F }}\\
\hline
\hline
$$Treatment$$ & 2 & 470094755.9 & 235047378.0 & 61.94 & \textless .0001\\
$$Residual$$ & 57 & 216313345.8 & 3794971.0 & &\\
\hline
$$Total$$ & 59 & 686408101.7 & & &  \\
\label{fig:Data Set 1 - One-Way ANOVA by Operating Region}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
}
\caption{Data Set 1 - One-Way ANOVA by Operating Region}
\end{table}


The center environment adds vertical space and shouldn't be used in a float. Apart from that, you are making a new line and calling \label within the tabular environment. This has two bad consequences:

1. you lose the label, since the corresponding counter is increased by \caption.
2. You are basically putting an empty tabular row, which will look like extra vertical space.

A slightly improved version of your code would then be

\begin{table}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ c c c c c c }
\textbf{\textit{Source}} & \textbf{\textit{DF}}&\textbf{\textit{SS}}&   \textbf{\textit{MS}} & \textbf{\textit{F-Value}} & \textbf{\textit{Pr \textgreater{} F }}\\
\hline
\hline
\textit{Treatment} & 2 & 470094755.9 & 235047378.0 & 61.94 & \textless .0001\\
\textit{Residual} & 57 & 216313345.8 & 3794971.0 & &\\
\hline
\textit{Total} & 59 & 686408101.7 & & &  \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{Data Set 1 - One-Way ANOVA by Operating Region}
