Decrease Font Size for table

[Ashish Revar]

Hello everyone,
I am making two column report which is having one table in left side column. But this table content is big so it is exceeding the column partition.
Is there any option to make wraptable like wrapfig?
I've tried one not working, so any solution related to changing the font size?

Please suggest me how to set font size with \newcommand.......

I've used tyhis command to deal with this issue,

\newcommand{\tablefont}[1]{\fontsize{2.5mm}{2.5mm}\selectfont}

then

{\tablefont
\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{2.6cm}|p{2.6cm}|}
  \hline
  % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
  US pricing & S3 & Google \\ \hline \hline
  Storage & \$0.055-\$0.150 per GB/month & \$0.17/GB/month \\ \hline
  Upload data & \$0.10/GB/month & \$0.10/GB/month \\ \hline
  Download data & Free-\$0.150 per GB/month & \$0.15/GB/month \\ \hline
  PUT, POST, LIST requests & \$0.01 per 1,000 requests & \$0.01 per 1,000 requests
  \\ \hline
  GET, HEAD & \$0.01 per 10,000 requests & \$0.01 per 10,000 requests
  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{Amazon S3 vs. Google Storage}
\end{table}
}

error is \caption outside float.

what goes wrong?

You have specified one argument for the \tablefont macro but you haven't supplied one, and the macro doesn't use one.

EITHER

\newcommand{\tablefont}{\fontsize{2.5mm}{2.5mm}\selectfont}

 OR

\newcommand{\tablefont}[1]{\fontsize{#1}{#1}\selectfont}
...
{\tablefont{2.5mm}

Thanks peter,
but I am having more than one table in the paper,

if I use the command
{\tablefont{2.5mm}

then it will change all the fonts in the all the tables, that is not what I need,

is there any alternative solution through which I can apply different font size to different texts in table.

No, exactly the oppositel. The whole purpose of using the argument, and preceding the command with an openbrace is that the value is kept local to the table. An alternative would be

\begin{table}
\tablefont{2.5mm}
...
\end{table}

That also will keep the value local.
