multicolumnmultirowtables
what is the best way to split a table cell like this:
| Header1 | Header2| Header3 |
----------------------------------
| text11 | text12 | text13 |
----------------------------------
| text21 | text22 | text23 |
----------------------------------
| |t311 |text312 | text313 |
| text31| | | |
| |t312 |text322 | text323 |
thanks
In comments you say the lines look wore in your example, but I can't debug that (although the most common reason is having code after the last \\ and before \end{tabular} which makes a spurious unfinished last row so the vertical lines hang down.
But the rules in a latex table are always at the right edge of the column (except the first column which has two rules) so when using \multicolumn you should always add the rule on the right never on the left except the first column, otherwise, in general the vertical rules will not line up.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\centering
$\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|}
\multicolumn{2}{c}{}& \multicolumn{2}{c}{Y} \\
\cline{3-4}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{}&& 1 & 2 \\
\cline{2-4}
\multirow{2}{*}{T} &
1& q_{11} & q_{12} \\
\cline{2-4}
&
2 & q_{21} & q_{22} \\
\cline{2-4}
\end{array}$
\end{document}
You could use nested tabular in order to split cells horizontally and/or vertically:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Split cells horizontally:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
some text & some more text \\
\hline
non split cell & \begin{tabular}{@{}ll@{}}
split cell A & split cell B \\
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\bigskip
Split cells vertically:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
some text & some more text \\
\hline
non split cell & \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
split cell A\\
split cell B\\
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\bigskip
Split cells horizontally and vertically:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
some text & some more text \\
\hline
non split cell & \begin{tabular}{@{}ll@{}}
split cell A & split cell B\\
split cell C & split cell D\\
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
