I have a couple of different methods to solve a diven problem and I want to compare them in a table. My aim is it to automatically add the relative deviation.
I got some problems using siunitx
within a table, but I solved it using this.
Now my problem is, that my last column should have an explicit (plus) sign. When I use something like (did not use my automatic calculation in here, as the error occurs even without it)…
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{lSSS}
\hline
\hline
\textbf{Type} & \textbf{before} & \textbf{after} & \textbf{change}\\
& $\left[\frac{m^3}{h}\right]$ & $\left[\frac{m^3}{h}\right]$ & $\left[\%\right]$\\
\hline
Method A & 10.05 & 22.84 & \num[explicit-sign=+]{127.26}
\hline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
…I get the following error message.
> Argument of \num has an extra }.
Does anybody has an idea, why it did not work? Or what to do to make it work?
I cannot use explicit-sign=+
within \sisetup
as I only want my last column to have the explicit sign.
Thanks for your help.
Best Answer
You can use
\begin{tabular}{lSSS[explicit-sign=+]} ...
.BTW: non-numerical input in
S
-type columns should be escaped by putting the material in braces:{\textbf{before}}
. Also: since you're usingsiunitx
already you should use it for the units as well. In my example below I also usebooktabs
for nicer table rules.
