[Tex/LaTex] Source at the end of table and centering cells

sourcetables

How could I add before title the source of the table? Also, in the first row how could I center between 2010 and provisional the other dates?

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering % used for centering table
\begin{tabular}{l c c c c c c} 
\hline %inserts double horizontal lines
& 1990 & 1999 & 2005 & 2010 & 2015 \\
& & & & (provisional) & (projection)\\
\hline% inserts single horizontal line
East Asia \& Pacific & 48.5 & 37.6 & 23.9 & 20.7 & 11.8 \\ 
Europe \& Central Asia & 0.5 & 1.0 & 0.5 & 0.3 & 0.2 \\ 
Latin America \& Caribbean & 2.8 & 3.4 & 3.4 & 2.7 & 3.1 \\ 
Middle East \& North Africa & 0.7 & 0.8 & 0.8 & 0.7 & 1.0 \\ 
South Asia & 32.3 & 35.5 & 43.1 & 41.7 & 41.9 \\ 
Sub-Saharan Africa & 15.2 & 21.6 & 28.4 & 34.1 & 42.1 \\  [1ex] % [1ex] adds vertical space
\hline \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Regional Distribution of people living on less than \$1.25 a day (\% of total population on less than \$1.25 a day)}
\end{table}

For the source, I just add an extra (footnotesize) line to the end of the table. To center the headers vertically, I used the \stackanchor macro from the stackengine package. The \addstackgap pads the stack with a little extra space above and below.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering % used for centering table
\begin{tabular}{l c c c c c c} 
\hline %inserts double horizontal lines
& 1990 & 1999 & 2005 & \stackanchor{2010}{(provisional)} & 
 \addstackgap[3pt]{\stackanchor{2015}{(projection)}} \\
\hline% inserts single horizontal line
East Asia \& Pacific & 48.5 & 37.6 & 23.9 & 20.7 & 11.8 \\ 
Europe \& Central Asia & 0.5 & 1.0 & 0.5 & 0.3 & 0.2 \\ 
Latin America \& Caribbean & 2.8 & 3.4 & 3.4 & 2.7 & 3.1 \\ 
Middle East \& North Africa & 0.7 & 0.8 & 0.8 & 0.7 & 1.0 \\ 
South Asia & 32.3 & 35.5 & 43.1 & 41.7 & 41.9 \\ 
Sub-Saharan Africa & 15.2 & 21.6 & 28.4 & 34.1 & 42.1 \\  [1ex] % [1ex] adds vertical space
\hline \hline
\footnotesize Source: U.S. Census, 2010
\end{tabular}
\caption{Regional Distribution of people living on less than \$1.25 a day (\% of total population on less than \$1.25 a day)}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Use \multirow with the appropriate value in the first argument:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{rotating}

\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
\newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}}

\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaystable}
  \centering
  \renewcommand\multirowsetup{\centering}
  \begin{tabular}{|M{20mm}|P{18mm}|P{20mm}|P{18mm}|P{20mm}|P{20mm}|M{15mm}|M{20mm}|M{15mm}|M{20mm}|} \hline
    \multirow{3}{20mm}{Head Model} & \multirow{3}{20mm}{\# SG computed} 
      & \multirow{3}{20mm}{\# Computed directly} & \multirow{3}{20mm}{\# SG Corrected} 
      & \multirow{3}{20mm}{\# SG Approximated} & \multirow{3}{20mm}{SMAS triangle count} 
      & \multicolumn{2}{P{35mm}|}{Machine~1} 
      & \multicolumn{2}{P{35mm}|}{Machine~2} \\ \cline{7-10}
    & & & & & & Runtime & \% spent calc geodesics  & Runtime & \% spent calc geodesics \\ \hline
    African & 1102 & 994 & 102 & 56 & -- & 499~sec. (8.3~min.) & 77\% & -- & -- \\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}        

\end{document}

Avoiding vertical rules in a table is a good practice; in this regard, the booktabs package would be of interest.

[Tex/LaTex] Vertical centering in multirow table cells

By default, multirow will center your text vertically, however your compiling error is what is stopping your code working. You must add \arraybackslash after your \raggedright in the column definition. Once that's done, you can remove your base line adjustment.

Also to simplify your code, you could define a couple of new column types:

\documentclass[preview,border=1px]{standalone}
\usepackage{array,multirow}
\pagestyle{empty}

\newcolumntype{P}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{3cm}}
\newcolumntype{M}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}m{3cm}}

\begin{document}
% code generated from Word OOXML via XSLT2
\begin{tabular}{@{}|P|P|P|P|@{}}\hline
% first row
\multirow{3}{3cm}{Tests:}
&\multicolumn{1}{M|}{Vortest}
&\multicolumn{1}{M|}{1. Nachtest}
&\multicolumn{1}{M|}{2. Nachtest}\\
% second row
&\multirow{2}{3cm}{Juni vor dem TSC}
&\multirow{2}{3cm}{September nach dem TSC}
&\multirow{2}{3cm}{Mai/Juni im Jahr nach dem TSC}
\\\cline{1-1} % this is line 24
% bogus third row
&&&\\\cline{1-1}\cline{2-2}\cline{3-3}\cline{4-4}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Fixing the multiple vertical lines is also done here by only adding the line after the column definition instead of both before and after:

However, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve and the multirow in the second line are to me a bit confusing. Could you clarify what you are trying to achieve exactly?
