[Tex/LaTex] Still having horizontal lines while using \multirow

multirow

I'm pretty new to TeX in general, having only produced two beamer-documents so far.
Right now I'm working on my first term paper using TeX.

What I want to accomplish is a simple use of \multirow. However, some remaining horizontal lines bug me even though I followed my instruction step by step.

I believe the code sample speaks for itself:

\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Biotoptyp: Abk"urzung} & \textbf{Fl"ache 2011, in m$^2$, ca.} \\ \hline
HN                & \multirow{4}{*}{15.800} \\ \hline
BRS               &                         \\ \hline
BMS               &                         \\ \hline
HB                &                         \\ \hline
UHT               & \multirow{2}{*}{8.200}  \\ \hline
GMK               &                         \\ \hline
UHM               & 4.000                   \\ \hline
SXA               & 2.500                   \\ \hline
HFS               & 1.100                   \\ \hline
\textbf{$\Sigma$} & \textbf{31.600}         \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

What am I missing here?

You can try this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Biotoptyp: Abk"urzung} & \textbf{Fl"ache 2011, in m$^2$, ca.} \\ \hline
HN                & \multirow{4}{*}{15.800} \\ \hline
BRS               &                         \\ \cline{1-1}
BMS               &                         \\ \hline
HB                &                         \\ \hline
UHT               & \multirow{2}{*}{8.200}  \\ \cline{1-1}
GMK               &                         \\ \hline
UHM               & 4.000                   \\ \hline
SXA               & 2.500                   \\ \hline
HFS               & 1.100                   \\ \hline
\textbf{$\Sigma$} & \textbf{31.600}         \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

This code produces:

PD: \cline{i-j} indicates that the line goes from column i to column j.

You don't need \multirow, but rather the adjustbox package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\begin{adjustbox}{valign=t}
\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1.3in]{a}\\[2ex]
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=0.7in]{b}
\end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
&
\begin{adjustbox}{valign=t}
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1.7in]{c}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

With valign=t we're shifting the reference point of the inner tabular and of the image to the right to their top.

Note. I've used height and the demo option just to produce mock figures; don't use them yourself.

[Tex/LaTex] How to expand row height while using long text in multirow

Here is one approach, using a p column (from the array package) of the specified width (8 cm) to replace your \parbox and \multirow construction.

The rest of the cells to the side are placed in a nested tabular aligned to the [t]op, with the spacing around the outer column zeroed for consistent spacing through the table. Your question wasn't entirely clear about what you expect to happen with the rules, so you may need to make some adjustments to the \hline commands in the nested table.

After converting to a p column, use \newline instead of \\ (and drop the ties). If this whole cell is always intended to have double spacing, you may want to investigate the setspace package for a cleaner, automatic solution to the line spacing.

\documentclass[crop]{standalone}
\usepackage{array}
\newcommand{\dblnewline}{\newline \newline}

\begin{document}

\Huge
\begin{tabular}{|p{8cm}|@{}c@{}|}
  \hline
  This is line1 \dblnewline
  This is line 2 \dblnewline
  This is line3 \dblnewline
  This is line 4 \dblnewline
  This is line5 &
  \begin{tabular}[t]{c|c}
    cell1 & cell2 \\ \hline
    cell3 & cell4 \\ \hline
    cell5 & cell6 \\ \hline
  \end{tabular} \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
