The code below produces the following figure:
The issue I am having is that Sample
is not vertically aligned, I get proper alignment if \cmidrule(l){2-3} \cmidrule(l){4-5}
is removed.
How do I get proper alignment while maintaining the two horizontal lines?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h]\centering
\begin{tabular}{lcccc}
\toprule
\multirow{2}{*}{Sample} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{I} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{II} \\
\cmidrule(l){2-3} \cmidrule(l){4-5}
& A & B & C & D \\
\midrule
S1 & 5 & 8 & 12 & 2 \\
S2 & 6 & 9 & 2 & 6 \\
S3 & 7 & 9 & 5 & 8 \\
S4 & 8 & 9 & 8 & 2 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Best Answer
Use the optional argument of
\multirow
.Substituting
with
does what you want.
MWE:
Output:
Note that I've also changed
\cmidrule(l)
to\cmidrule(lr)
for a better looking table, as suggested by Manuel in the comments.
