Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Different Number of Cells in each Table Row

[drSlump]

Does anybody know how to fit the last two columns (H & I) of the last row within three columns (a & e & d)?

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[htb]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{lccc}\hline
    \multirow{2}{*}{Pos:}   a & b & c \\
    d & e & f \\ \hline\hline
    Loa:     H & I   \\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

Thanks a lot!

You are not using all columns that you declare in the table preamble. For the output you are after you can use a trick as shown in the below code. It relies on a second {tabular} inserted as inner table into the outer {tabular}. The output is attached.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs,multirow}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!htb]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{lccc}\toprule
      \multirow{2}{*}{Pos:} & a & b & c \\
      & d & e & f \\ \midrule
      Loa: & \multicolumn{3}{c}{\begin{tabular}{cc} H & I \end{tabular}} \\ \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Next time please prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description.

thx a lot!
sorry but i am quite a new forum user.

can you tell me also how to achieve this result (different alignments)?

[svend_tveskaeg]

That you are new to the forum has nothing to do with it.

Please post your try as a minimal working exmple.

You are getting off the subject. But since we are here, we can talk about it. Just keep that in mind for the future. Nevertheless, you should meet Svend's request for a minimal example. As it stands now, your question sounds like "Do this for me". We appreciate questions more that present some code to be enhanced, not questions about writing code from scratch.
