[Tex/LaTex] Table with COLSPAN and ROWSPAN together

columnsmultirowtables

I need help with my table. I need to (probably) mix row and colspan (see right bottom corner and 2 columns in the center) but i do not know how. Also I need more lines (questions) in 4th column – is another table good idea?

This is what I have:

My purpose looks like this:

enter image description here

And my code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}                
\geometry{paper=a4paper,landscape,hmargin=28.5mm,vmargin=20mm} 

\newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{\dimexpr#1-\arrayrulewidth\relax}}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{\dimexpr#1-\arrayrulewidth\relax}}

  \begin{tabular}{
  | P{1.4cm}
  | M{1.4cm}
  | M{1.4cm}
  | P{7.6cm}
  | P{6.4cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{2.2cm}
  |
}
\hline
a & b & c & & d & e & f & g \tabularnewline
\hline

\rule{0cm}{1cm} & & & & & & & & \tabularnewline
\hline
\rule{0cm}{1cm} & & & & & & & & \tabularnewline
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{P{2.8cm}}{\rule{0cm}{1cm}}  & & & & \multicolumn{3}{P{2.8cm}}{\rule{0cm}{1cm}}  \tabularnewline
\hline

\end{tabular}

I was trying a lot of combinations but latex is too hard for me and too complicated i mean… (beautiful HTML/CSS 🙂 )

You can use multirow and \cline.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry,array}
\geometry{a4paper,landscape,hmargin=8.5mm,vmargin=20mm}

\newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{\dimexpr#1-\arrayrulewidth\relax}}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{\dimexpr#1-\arrayrulewidth\relax}}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tabular}{
  | P{1.4cm}
  | M{1.4cm}
  | M{1.4cm}
  | P{7.6cm}
  | P{6.4cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{1.2cm}
  | P{2.2cm}
  |
}
\hline
a & b & c & & d & e & f & g &\\
\hline

\rule[-0.8cm]{0cm}{1cm} & & &
\multirow{3}{7.6cm}{%
Question \hfill $\bigcirc$ \strut  Yes  $\bigcirc$ No \newline

}
  & & & & & \\
\cline{1-3}\cline{5-8}
\rule[-0.8cm]{0cm}{1cm} & & & & & & & & \\\cline{1-3}\cline{5-8}
\multicolumn{2}{|P{2.8cm}}{\rule{0cm}{1cm}}  & & & & \multicolumn{3}{P{2.8cm}}{\rule{0cm}{1cm}}  &\\
\hline

\end{tabular}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Table with multiple merging

Here is an extended duplication of your table, with the addition of using some \multirows (from the multirow package) just because you asked about some "more elaborate" cell constructs:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}% http://ctan.org/pkg/multirow
\begin{document}
\sffamily
\begin{tabular}{|*{6}{p{2cm}|}}
  \hline
  1a & 2a & 3a & \multicolumn{2}{l|}{4a, 5a} & 6a \\ \hline
  1b & \multicolumn{2}{l|}{2b, 3b} & 4b & 5b & 6b \\ \hline
  1c & 2c & 3c & 4c, 4d & 5c & 6c \\ \cline{1-3}\cline{5-6}
  1d, 1e & 2d & 3d & & 5d & 6d \\ \cline{2-6}
  & 2e & 3e & 4e & 5e & \\ \cline{1-5}
  1f & \multicolumn{2}{l|}{\multirow{2}*{2f, 3f, 2g, 3g}} & 4f & 5f & \multirow{-2}*{6e, 6f}\\ \cline{1-1}\cline{4-6}
  1g & \multicolumn{2}{l|}{} & 4g & 5g & 6g \\ \hline
  \multicolumn{2}{|l|}{1h, 2h} & 3h & 4h & 5h & 6h \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Some things to note in such tabular constructs:

If your column types are very similar, you can use the *{<num>}{<col spec>} format to duplicate <col spec> a total of <num> times;
When using \multicolumn{<num>}{<col spec>}{<stuff>}, you need to include the "end" vertical rule in <col spec>, since the "begin" vertical rule in a single-rule tabular belongs to the previous cell (except if you're spanning from the first column);
\multirow{<num>} allows for a negative number <num>, which will raise the entries vertically to the middle of <num> rows. If <num> is positive, the entries are dropped. Raising is useful when you have coloured rows, since the colour is set on a row-by-row basis. So, you may want to finish setting the colour of some upper row, and the \multirow an entry "into" it. For this you would need a negative <num>.

[Tex/LaTex] Table rowspan and colspan

You could use the multirow package to organize the cell in the north-west corner of the table, and the tabularx package to automatically generate four columns of equal width. In the MWE below, the \newcolumntype instruction sets up a new column type, called "Y", that centers its contents. Adjust the value of the \arraystretch macro to get the amount of vertical stretching to your liking.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multirow,tabularx}
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2}
\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|*{4}{Y|}}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{State of Health} 
  &\multicolumn{2}{c|}{Fasting Value}&After Eating\\
\cline{2-4}
             &Minimum       &Maximum &2 hours after eating\\
\hline
Healthy      &70            &100     &Less than 140\\
\hline
Pre-Diabetes &101           &126     &140 to 200\\
\hline
Diabetes     &More than 126 &N/A     &More than 200\\
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}
