Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ \multicolumn and \multirow

[james1986]

Hi,

I have a table and I wish to use a \multirow in a \multicolumn but I can't seem to get it to work. In the example below I wish the property cell to span the first two rows. Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\title{\textbf{Example Table}}
\author{james1986}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\section{Before you start}

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
\hline
Property & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Temperature} \\
  \hline
&Room Temperature & 1200C\\
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|l|}{CVI SiC/Si-B-C}\\
\hline
Fibre Type & Hi-Nicalon fibres & Hi-Nicalon fibres\\
Reinforcement & Plain Weave & Plain Weave\\

Hi James,

load the multirow package

Code: Select all

\usepackage{multirow}\usepackage{multirow}

and use the \multirow command. Furthermore, use \cline instead of \hline, to not cross the larger cell:

Code: Select all

...
\multirow{2}{*}{Property} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Temperature} \\
  \cline{2-3}
...
