\newcommand{\removelatexerror}{\let\@latex@error\@gobble}????????????? – David Carlisle Sep 27 '21 at 20:11\tiny \setlength\tabcolsep{3pt}probably works (after changingtable*totableto get 1-column) but usually reformatting the data is better than making it as smal as\tinybut impossible to suggest anything with fake table data as it depends on the context. – David Carlisle Sep 27 '21 at 20:16\tiny(as that works on the supplied example) but it is usually better to rearrange the data to make a taller thinner table and that can only be done with real data (or at least real headings) and some domain knowledge to know a sensible re-arrangement. – David Carlisle Sep 27 '21 at 20:34
