I am trying to put some cell text such as "Measurement type" and "Event labels" into multirow cells of two lines, where the aforementioned names would be split into two lines.

   begin{table*}[t]

    caption{Summary of high-frequency datasets specific for electricity disaggregation}

    label{tab:datasets}

    begin{minipage}[c]{textwidth}

    begin{center}

    begin{tabular}{llllcllll}

    toprule

    multirow{2}{*}{textbf{Dataset}} & multirow{2}{*}{textbf{Year}} & multirow{2}{*}{shortstack{textbf{Measurement\type}}} & multirow{2}{*}{textbf{Duration}} & multirow{2}{*}{shortstack{textbf{ADC\resolution}}} & multicolumn{2}{c}{textbf{Sampling frequency}} & textbf{Features} & multirow{2}{*}{shortstack{textbf{Event\labels}}}\

    &&&&&textbf{WP}&textbf{IL}&&\

    REDD (US) cite{REDD2011}& 2011 & WP(10), IC, IL(8)  & 3-119D & 24bit & 15kHz & 1/3-1/4Hz & I,V,P & NO\

    bottomrule

    end{tabular}

    end{center}

    end{minipage}

    end{table*}

Although I found a solution that revolves around the use of shortstack, it does not work and I get a Compiler Error!

Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance.

As suggested in @leandriis' comment, you'll have a simpler code which compiles (no multirow, no shortstack) with makecell, which allows for line breaks and a common formatting in standard cells, with themakecell and thead commands. I added caption to have a decent spacing between caption and table, used the small size and reduced the value of tabcolsep to make the table fit the text width:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{array, booktabs, makecell, caption}

usepackage{geometry} 

setlength{extrarowheight}{2pt}

renewcommand{theadfont}{normalsizebfseries}

usepackage{nccmath}
