Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem with a Table using 'tabularx'

[NELLLY]

Hi
I faced a problem in writting a table

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{table}
\caption{....}
\begin{tabularx}{cXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}{\textwidth}\hline
~~&\textit{Run}&\multicolumn {5}{c}{\bf\small{Basic
model}}&\multicolumn{5}{c}{\bf\small{ Bayesian
model}}&\multicolumn{4}{c}{\bf\small{I Bayesian model}}
\\\cline{3-7}\cline{8-12}\cline{13-16}\hline\\
~~&~~&$n^*_{B}$&$ih^*_{B}$&$h^*_B$&$TC^*_B$&$\Delta
C_B$&$ih^*_{VSS}$&$h^*_{VSS}$&$TC^*_{VSS}$&$\Delta
C_{VSS-s}$&$\Delta C_{VSS}-B$&$n^*_{VSI}$&$TC^*_{VSI}$&$\Delta
C_{VSI-s}$&$\Delta C_{VSI-B}$\\
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}

When I typset the foolowing error is recorded: "Missing number treated as zero".

Hi,

the width is the first argument to the tabularx environment. So, write

Code: Select all

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{cXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}\hline

Thanks Stefan I made the correction. However, a new typset error appears "extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr". I didn't know from where it comes.

There's probably one & too much. Count & and columns and compare to the tabular definition.
