[Tex/LaTex] Table with a diagonal line that crosses cells

tables

How can I draw the following table in LaTeX?

I tried looking here but from the examples I can't figure out how I can draw this.

Edit: After browsing a few more times I found this with the help of which I could draw the table without the diagonal. Here is my MWE,

\begin{table}[]
\centering
\caption{My caption}
\label{my-label}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{CONCEPT} & \multicolumn{6}{c|}{COMPREHENSIVE NOTES}                                \\ \hline
Man                            & Substance & Material & Living           &     Sentient & Rational & Man \\ \hline
Animal                         & Substance & Material & Living           &     Sentient & Brutes   & Man \\ \hline
Organism                       & Substance & Material & Inanimate Bodies &     Plants   & Brutes   & Man \\ \hline
Body                           & Substance & Material & Inanimate Bodies &     Plants   & Brutes   & Man \\ \hline
Substance                      & Substance & Spirit   & Inanimate Bodies &     Plants   & Brutes   & Man \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}         & \multicolumn{6}{c|}{EXTENSIVE SUBJECTS}                                 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

[Tex/LaTex] Diagonal line in table with vertical text

I used diagbox instead of slashbox and the rotatebox macro from graphicx instead of the rotating package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{diagbox}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\caption{Pugh matrix}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline\hline
\diagbox[dir=NW]{\rule{0mm}{4cm}Property}{Concept} & \rotatebox[x=2cm]{90}{Concept 1} & \rotatebox[x=2cm]{90}{Next concept} & 
\rotatebox[x=2cm]{90}{Next concept/increase line\ } \\
\hline
Do this                & 0 & 0 & - \\
Do that     & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
Do it quickly   & 0 & + & + \\
Do the task quickly         & 0 & 0 & - \\ 
\hline 
SUM:                        & 0 & +1 & +2 \\
\hline
Ranking                     & 2 & 2 & 1  \\
\hline
Keep                        & NO & NO & YES \\
\hline\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:Pugh_matrix2}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Adapting from the answer you have linked I defined \strike. The command takes two arguments, which is due to the varying rules in your table.

\strike{<column spec>}{<content>}

where <column spec> is the column format expected by \multicolumn, e.g. |[3pt]c|. You may specify columns different from c, but this will have no effect due to \hspace{0pt plus 1filll} on both sides of the content.

\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}% for cropping
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{zref-savepos}
\usepackage{tabu}

\newcounter{NoTableEntry}
\renewcommand*{\theNoTableEntry}{NTE-\the\value{NoTableEntry}}

\newcommand*{\strike}[2]{%
  \multicolumn{1}{#1}{%
    \stepcounter{NoTableEntry}%
    \vadjust pre{\zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry t}}% top
    \vadjust{\zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry b}}% bottom
    \zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry l}% left
    \hspace{0pt plus 1filll}%
    #2% content
    \hspace{0pt plus 1filll}%
    \zsavepos{\theNoTableEntry r}% right
    \tikz[overlay]{%
      \draw
        let
          \n{llx}={\zposx{\theNoTableEntry l}sp-\zposx{\theNoTableEntry r}sp-\tabcolsep},
          \n{urx}={\tabcolsep},
          \n{lly}={\zposy{\theNoTableEntry b}sp-\zposy{\theNoTableEntry r}sp},
          \n{ury}={\zposy{\theNoTableEntry t}sp-\zposy{\theNoTableEntry r}sp}
        in
        (\n{llx}, \n{lly}) -- (\n{urx}, \n{ury})
      ;
    }% 
  }%
}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2}
\begin{tabu}{|[3pt]c|c|c|[3pt]}
  \tabucline[3pt]{-}
  foo & bar & baz \\
  \hline
  \strike{|[3pt]c|}{quux} & A & B \\
  \hline
  C & D & \strike{c|[3pt]}{$\delta$} \\
  \tabucline[3pt]{-}
\end{tabu}
\end{document}
