Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ array | Column Type not recognized

[erictamlam]

Hi all,

I have this error popped up when compiling my source code.

Code: Select all

! Package array error: pream-token (S): 'c'used

The problem seems to be caused by some table command I used, but I don't know exactly what went wrong. I attached the related packages I used and the code for the table. Any help would be great! it's worth noting that I didn't have this problem when I was using an older version of CTEX. I just upgraded it and now the problem floated up the surface. Originally, it says I was using an old package siunitx, so I uncommented it.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{multirow}
%\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{slashbox}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{array}


\begin{table}
   \begin{tabular*}{\columnwidth}{
                 c
                 S[tabformat=+1.2]
                 S[tabformat=+1.2]
                 S[tabformat=+1.2]
                 S[tabformat=+1.2]
                 }
                \toprule
                \multirow{2}{*}{A} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{B} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{C}\\
                \cmidrule(l){2-3}\cmidrule(l){4-5}
                 & $p_j$ & $q_j$ & $\pi_{Bj}$ & $\pi_{Ij}$\\
                \midrule
                 1 & 0.6     & 0.6     & 0.5      & 0.5    \\
                \bottomrule
            \end{tabular*}
\end{table}

But siunitx is the package that provides the S column type for your table. So uncomment it and upgrade the package. Somehow CTeX should allow to maintain your TeX system. If not, think about migrating to TeX Live or MiKTeX.

Alternatively you can try your luck with dcolumn.
