My table starts numbering at 2, why?

I have a table that is in scriptsize and when compile my code numbers itself at 2.2 instead of 2.1. It is intended for my second chapter. Does anyone know what I should do to start numbering this table at 2.1?



Thanks in advance!

    Not the issue, but a general advice: I'd not label your table 2:1 with label{tabel:2.1}, instead I'd choose something that can't change even if the order of your document should change in the future, something like label{tab:metacompetence}. Also you must use label after the caption or (even better) inside the mandatory argument of the caption macro.

    My best guess is what Skillmon suggests at the end: label should come after caption. Currently label picks up the last counter that was stepped up before the table (that might be a subsection or section counter or something else entirely). See also tex.stackexchange.com/q/32325/35864, tex.stackexchange.com/q/7/35864

  • That's good advice guys, noted! However, when I put my label after my caption, the entire caption disappears. When I remove the shortcite{Siddique2013} it also does not work.

    label has to be after (or better, in)` caption or can not work, but for your main question, post a small complete document that shows the problem. Currently you are including a large tabular that has no effect on the numbering, but are not including any code from earlier in the document that has set the counter to the wrong value, so it is hard to offer any help.
