Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Dissapearing verticle lines in PDF

[teXbeginnerM]

Hi! I have made a table using both multirow and multicoloumn, using examples on the internet. My code looks okay to me, but when I look at the PDF some of the vertical lines are missing, and there is a couple of horizontal lines that shouldn't be there. My code is as follows

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\begin{footnotesize} \setlength{\extrarowheight}{2mm}
\begin{tabular}{| l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l |}
\hline
 & & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Total colony} & & &  \\
 & & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{forming units per} & & & \\
Site & Site name & Transect & \multicolumn{3}{c}{100 mL} & Mean & Variance & Standard \\
\cline{4-6}
number & & & Depth & Depth & Depth & & & Deviation \\
 & & & 0 m & 1,5 m & 3 m & & & \\ \hline
2 & Møhlenpris & Inner & 20 & 20 & 10 & \multirow{4}{*}{11,25}& \multirow{4}{*}{155,11} & \multirow{4}{*}{12,46} \\ \hline
3 & Marineholmen & Inner & $<10$ & $<10$ & 10 &  \\ \cline{1-6}
4 & Damsgård & Inner & 10 & 10 & 10 &  \\ \cline{1-6}
5 & Solheimsviken & Inner & $<10$ & 50 & 10 &  \\ \hline
1 & Nordnes & Outer & 10 & $<10$ & $<10$ & \multirow{2}{*}{10,83} & \multirow{2}{*}{54,17} & \multirow{2}{*}{3,36} \\ \cline{1-6}
6 & Laksevåg & Outer & $<10$ & $<10$ & $<10$ & \\ 
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{footnotesize}
\end{document}

Hope someone can help me!

Hi,

some ampersands were missing and some \hline and \cline commands had to be interchanged. Perhaps this is what you were trying to achieve:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{footnotesize} 
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2mm}
\begin{tabular}{| l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l |}
  \hline
  & & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Total colony} & & &  \\
  & & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{forming units per} & & & \\
  Site & Site name & Transect & \multicolumn{3}{c}{100 mL} & Mean & Variance & 
    Standard \\ \cline{4-6}
  number & & & Depth & Depth & Depth & & & Deviation \\
  & & & 0 m & 1,5 m & 3 m & & & \\ \hline
  2 & Møhlenpris & Inner & 20 & 20 & 10 & \multirow{4}{*}{11,25} & 
    \multirow{4}{*}{155,11} & \multirow{4}{*}{12,46}  \\ \cline{1-6}
  3 & Marineholmen & Inner & $<10$ & $<10$ & 10 & & & \\ \cline{1-6}
  4 & Damsgård & Inner & 10 & 10 & 10 & & & \\ \cline{1-6}
  5 & Solheimsviken & Inner & $<10$ & 50 & 10 & & & \\ \hline
  1 & Nordnes & Outer & 10 & $<10$ & $<10$ & \multirow{2}{*}{10,83} & 
    \multirow{2}{*}{54,17} & \multirow{2}{*}{3,36} \\ \cline{1-6}
  6 & Laksevåg & Outer & $<10$ & $<10$ & $<10$ & & & \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{footnotesize}
\end{document}

This was much better,thank you very much! But there is still one vertical line missing in the pdf, on the right side of total colony forming units...

The second argument of \multicolumn overrides the format specification of columns; in particular, vertical lines must be declared in this argument:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[margin=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{footnotesize} 
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2mm}
\begin{tabular}{| l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l |}
  \hline
  & & & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{Total colony} & & &  \\
  & & & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{forming units per} & & & \\
  Site & Site name & Transect & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{100 mL} & Mean & Variance & 
    Standard \\ \cline{4-6}
  number & & & Depth & Depth & Depth & & & Deviation \\
  & & & 0 m & 1,5 m & 3 m & & & \\ \hline
  2 & Møhlenpris & Inner & 20 & 20 & 10 & \multirow{4}{*}{11,25} & 
    \multirow{4}{*}{155,11} & \multirow{4}{*}{12,46}  \\ \cline{1-6}
  3 & Marineholmen & Inner & $<10$ & $<10$ & 10 & & & \\ \cline{1-6}
  4 & Damsgård & Inner & 10 & 10 & 10 & & & \\ \cline{1-6}
  5 & Solheimsviken & Inner & $<10$ & 50 & 10 & & & \\ \hline
  1 & Nordnes & Outer & 10 & $<10$ & $<10$ & \multirow{2}{*}{10,83} & 
    \multirow{2}{*}{54,17} & \multirow{2}{*}{3,36} \\ \cline{1-6}
  6 & Laksevåg & Outer & $<10$ & $<10$ & $<10$ & & & \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{footnotesize}

\end{document}

Thank you, that is perfect!
