I would like to prepare an income statement, so I found and modified a template for this on this site, giving the following MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{tgschola}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{icomma}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcolumntype{I}{@{}X<{\xdotfill}}
\newcolumntype{R}{>{\qq}r<{\qq}}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\xdotfill}{\leavevmode\leaders\hb@xt@.44em{\hss.\hss}\hfill\hskip-\tabcolsep\kern\z@}
\makeatother
\newcommand\qq{\quad}
\newcommand\tablesec[1]{\multicolumn{1}{@{}l}{#1}&&\\}
\newcommand\tabletitle[1]{\multicolumn{1}{@{}c|}{\SEPx{2}#1}}
\newcommand\SEPx[1]{\vrule width 0pt height \dimexpr\fontcharht\font`A+2ex depth #1ex\relax}
\newcommand\SEP{\SEPx{0}}
\newcommand\?{\hphantom{0}}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2}
\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{IRR}
\tablesec{Revenue:}
\qq Revenue 1 & & $5,00$ \\
\qq Revenue 2 & & $1247,50$ \\
\qq Revenue 3 & & $24,00$ \\
\tablesec{Expenses:}
\qq Cost 1 & $392,00$ \\
\qq Cost 2 & $206,82$ \\
\qq Cost 3 & $21,51$ \\
\cmidrule{2-2}
\qq Total cost & & $620,33$ \\
\cmidrule{3-3}
Net income & & $656,17$ \\
\cmidrule{3-3}\morecmidrules\cmidrule{3-3}
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}
The problem is here: the cmidrule under the totals is too wide, it fills the whole cell, I need it to be more narrow like this (see the red lines):
Also, notice the red asterix: the booktabs-package which I'm using allows me to get a "double cline" in the last tabularx-rule, but this also causes a larger line spacing where it's used.
Maybe someone knows a solution 🙂
Thanks in advance,
Nino

I'd like to recommend that you load the
siunitx
package and employ itsS
column type to align the numbers in columns 2 and 3. Separately, use left- and right-trimming of the\cmidrule
s in column 2, and left-trimming of the\cmidrule
s in column 3. From an accounting class I took a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I seem to remember that the rules should be as wide as the widest number in the respective columns. That's achieved by applying left- and right-trimming of the rules.
