Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multicolumn does not follow previously declared hspace?

[frznchckn]

I have a 32 column table, and to make it fit on letter size paper, I used \hspace. However, when I use a \multicolumn, the total wide of the column spanning cell does not follow the widths as defined by \hspace. Is there a way to remedy this? Perhaps a different approach that I'm not doing? Thanks.

[Frits]

A less elegant way would be to use \hphantom{}. Not sure if it'll work though, since your code produces a lot of errors here I can't test it..

[frznchckn]

Thanks for the replay Frits. I'm not familiar with \hphantom and will give it a look.

If you're having trouble with the code perhaps the following would help.

\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{colortbl}

I should've posted more. I posted the complete file below. It runs no problem for me.
