Table is too long for normal presentation, how do I break it by rows


I am a student, and my data science teacher is requiring us to use a table in our presentation on marathon times across the country. Because of this I have a table that contains the marathon name in one column, and the average time that the marathon took to complete. However there are 276 different marathons in this table, so the table is 276 rows long. Is there a way to break the table every 50 rows and resume it on another pair of columns to create a table that displays all the information in one glance rather then needing to scroll through 276 rows of data.

This is the table I have

And this is the table I'm trying to make

I tried using the split function, but that seems to only split the data in the cells of the table and not the rows of the data.


Solution

  • Here is an example showing how to define row and column calculations using table calcs to make a table of varying size
