Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multicolumn/multirow tables

[jimp]

I am new to Latex and having some problems making tables. I would like my table to look like the attached figure but the I don't get the multicolumn working at the headline 'Reinforcement'. Do anyone have suggestions?

Thanks in advice, best regards jimp.

The multirow package allows to typeset entries spanning multiple rows (who knew?). For further details consult the package manual. Open a command line for instant access.

Code: Select all

texdoc multirow

For entries spanning multiple columns use the \multicolumn command.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi Jimp,

welcome to the board!

Have a look at Creating tables with LaTeX, there are examples for multicolumn and multirow tables together with an explanation of \multicolumn and \multirow.

Thanks for the tip but I'm in a bit hurry due a deadline on Friday and my !"#! mentor required my work done in LateX this monday. So I am going to ask if Im on the right way with this code =)

Code: Select all

\begin{table*}[h!]
	\centering
	\begin{tabular}{| c | c | c | c | c | c | c |}
	\hline
	\multicolumn{7}{| c |}{Reinforced beams} \\
	\hline
	Support length	& Linear model 	& Non linear model 	& Loading plate 	& Support 	& \multicolumn{2}{| c |}{Reinforcement}	& Total \\
	\hline
	1			& 2			& 3			& 4			& 5		& 6	& 7						& 8 \\
	\hline
	\end{tabular}
	\caption{Number of elements in each part of the reinforced beams.}
	\label{table78}
\end{table*}

Never mind! I managed to do it!

I would do it slightly different and devide some cells in the table header.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \caption{Beam model reinforcement (115x630)}\label{tab:bemore}
    \centering
    \footnotesize
    \begin{tabular}{|*8{c|}}\hline
      Support & Linear & Non-linear & Loading & \multirow{2}{*}{Support} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Reinforcement} & Total \\\cline{6-8}
      length (m) & Model & Model & plate & & Hex & Cohessive & \\\hline
      0,06 & 13192 & 13192 & 840 & 245 & 750 & 720 & 28894 \\\hline
      0,09 & & & & & & & \\\hline
      0,12 & & & & & & & \\\hline
    \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

That's a start! Note , you have got 8 columns. So in the column definition (and in the first multicolumn) you need one more c cell to make it work:

Code: Select all

\begin{table*}[h!]
   \centering
   \begin{tabular}{| c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c |}
   \hline
   \multicolumn{8}{| c |}{Reinforced beams} \\
   \hline
   Support length   & Linear model    & Non linear model    & Loading plate    & Support    & \multicolumn{2}{c |}{Reinforcement}   & Total \\
   \hline
   1         & 2         & 3         & 4         & 5      & 6   & 7                  & 8 \\
   \hline
   \end{tabular}
   \caption{Number of elements in each part of the reinforced beams.}
   \label{table78}
\end{table*}

Thank you, Stefan_K. I noticed that just some time after my post.

localghost, thanks alot! Looks very good!
