Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Sideways Heading for Table without Row Lines

[cschirf]

Hi,

I'm trying to rotate a heading over several rows in a table. I can get the words to rotate fine, is there any way to do it so the lines for the rows don't show up (like the way multicolumn works)?

I've looked through this forum and several others, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

This is what I have so far (the heading in question is the one labelled `Mother's Occupation'):

Code: Select all

\begin{longtable}{| c | c | c | c  | c | c |}

\hline
 & \multicolumn{5}{| c |}{ } \\
 & \multicolumn{5}{| c |}{\textbf{\large Father's Occupation}} \\
 & \multicolumn{5}{| c |}{ } \\

\hline
& & & & & \\

    \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{}}  
&  \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{}}  
&  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Group A}}  
&  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Group B}}
&  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Group C}}
&  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Group D}} \\

& & & & & \\
\hline
& & & & & \\

% *** next row is where the problem is *** 
\multirow{5}{*}{\begin{sideways}{\textbf{\large Mother's Occupation}}\end{sideways}} 

&	\textbf{Group A}	&	$8$		&	$3$		&	$4$		&	$1$	\\

& & & & & \\
\hline
& & & & & \\

&	\textbf{Group B}	&	$3$		&	$3$		&	$0$		&	$1$	\\

& & & & & \\
\hline
& & & & & \\

&	\textbf{Group C}	&	$0$		&	$0$		&	$1$		&	$0$	\\


& & & & & \\
\hline
& & & & & \\

&	\textbf{Group D}	&	$2$		&	$0$		&	$0$		&	$1$	\\

& & & & & \\
\hline
& & & & & \\

&	\textbf{Total:}		&	\textbf{26}	&	\textbf{10}	&	\textbf{10}	&	\textbf{4}	 \\ 

& & & & & \\
\hline

\end{longtable}
}

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Use \cline{m-n} instead of \hline to draw a horizontal line from the mth column to the nth.

eg.

Code: Select all

&   \textbf{Group A}   &   $8$      &   $3$      &   $4$      &   $1$   \\

& & & & & \\
\cline{2-6}
& & & & & \\

&   \textbf{Group B}   &   $3$      &   $3$      &   $0$      &   $1$   \\
