Can't fit an imported excel table in a page (overfull hbox and vbox)
TeX - LaTeX Asked on January 20, 2021
Good evening to anyone. I’m trying desperately to fit this table into an horizontal page. As I’ve used excel2latex to import it, I’m using the array environment, and I don’t really know what to do to make it fit… I tried to use tabularx, but I LaTeX cannot compile… The table seems too large and too tall…

Here's a solution that employs a tabular environment (actually, a tabular* environment) instead of an array environment, embeds the tabular material in a sidewaystable environment, takes some care to structure the header material, and uses few but well-spaced horizontal rules. No need to reduce the font size.

Correct answer by Mico on January 20, 2021
You were using the array environment outside math mode. Also, there was a conflict concerning the url package. I have also reduced the font size. This will work:

First I added booktabs, always useful for better row spacing and rules, and pdflscape to be able to see the landscape table horizontally in the monitor, for easier debugging. The font size is small, the rows stretched by arraystretch from the array package. I added some multicolumns to center the second row over Peak / Off-Peack and centered most columns for better viewing.
