I would like to move my table

documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}

usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}

usepackage{ltablex}



begin{document}

begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{llllllllllllllllllllllll}

caption{Numbers}\hline

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

end{tabularx}



end{document}

to the left and to the top. Could you please help me how to change margins for my table defined in tabularx environment?

Try the following, based on this answer by David Carlisle:

documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}

usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}

usepackage{ltablex}



begin{document}



section{Text before with original margins}

some text here



setlengthLTleft{-2cm} % adjust these to your liking

setlengthLTright{-2cm}



begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{llllllllllllllllllllllll}

caption{Numbers}\hline

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

end{tabularx}



noindent More text with original margins



end{document}

Which gives the following output:

• do you really need table over more than one page?


• using tabularx at least one column had to be of type X
  


• using standard tabular* fit table in text area:

    documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}

    usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}

    % usepackage{ltablex}



    begin{document}



    begin{table}[htb]

    setlengthtabcolsep{0pt}

    caption{Numbers}

    noindentbegin{tabular*}{linewidth}{@{extracolsep{fill}} *{24}{l}}

    hline

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    end{tabular*}

    end{table}

    end{document}

solution as you ask in question, i.e. considering ltablex and expand text width locally (however, table should not be longer than one page):

(red lines indicate border of page layout)

    documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}



    usepackage[vmargin=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}

    usepackage{ltablex}

    keepXColumns



    usepackage[strict]{changepage}

    begin{document}



    begin{adjustwidth*}{}{-1.5cm}

    setlengthtabcolsep{3pt}

    begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{*{24}{X} }

    caption{Numbers}   \

    hline

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \

    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 

    end{tabularx}

    end{adjustwidth*}

    end{document}

addendum:
from your comments below i conclude that your mwe, provided in question` is misleading, and question is therefore not clear at all. once you claim your table is 200 rows long and have only 9 columns, in a other that it hasn't 200 rows ...

if you like to have table width equal to text width, and for table use tabularx redefined by ltablex environment for equal width cells, than you need to make two changes in your mwe:

• replace c column specifiers with X
  


• 
  

  in preamble add command keepXColumns, which will assure that X columns will behave the same as at standard tabularx (do you aware that using ltablex change standard features of tabularx?)
